Answer

suggested shifting funds to state banks.

voiced his support of state banks.
C
called for an end to the bank’s charter.

helped to organize the Whig Party.

Explanation

Henry Clay opposed Jackson’s attack on the Second Bank of the United States and became a leading opponent of Jackson. Clay helped organize the Whig Party, which brought together people opposed to Jackson’s policies and use of presidential power. Shifting federal funds to state banks and ending the bank’s charter were actions associated with Jackson, not Clay.
