The correct answer is:

C. They violated the constitutional guarantee of a free press.

Explanation:

The Alien and Sedition Acts were a collection of four laws passed by the Congress and President Adams to prevent a French invasion and to prevent Americans to side with France and Jefferson. The Alien and Sedition Acts consisted in more requirements for immigrants to acquire the U.S. citizenship (Naturalization Act), the government was now able to arrest and deport male citizens of an enemy nation during war (Alien Enemies Act), the government was also able to deport any immigrant if they were thought to be plotting against the government at any time (Alien Friends Act), and it was now illegal to write against the Congress or the President (Seditions Act), which violated the constitutional guarantee of a free press.
