B
It highlighted the sectional issues that divided the nation.

The federal government proved its power over the states.

Explanation

The nullification crisis highlighted sectional conflict, especially between the South and the federal government over tariffs and states’ rights. When South Carolina challenged federal tariff laws, the federal government asserted its authority, showing that states could not simply nullify federal laws. The crisis did not permanently end debates over slavery or states’ rights.
