One way in which the Kentucky and Virginia resolutions and the South Carolina ordinance of nullification are similar is that each claimed that laws passed by the Congress and signed by the President at that time were unconstitutional.

In the Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions (1798 and 1799 respectively) the states legislatures argued that the federal Alien and Sedition Acts were unconstitutional. The act consisted of four laws that made it harder for an immigrant to become a citizen, allowed the president to imprison and deport non-citizens who were deemed dangerous or who were from a hostile nation and criminalized making false statements that were critical of the federal government.

The Ordinance of Nullification was passed by the South Carolina legislature declaring that the Tariffs of 1828 and 1832 were unconstitutional, and thereby null and void. The state held that the tariff imposed were detrimental to its well being and favored the North over the South.

yup! you are correct it is b.
