b. Harry Truman and the "Fair Deal"

c. Franklin Roosevelt and his "New Deal"

d. John Kennedy and his call for the "New Frontier"

The correct answer is C. The limited role that the federal government had with the states was ended by Franklin Roosevelt and his New Deal.

Explanation:

The New Deal was the government program implemented by President Roosevelt from the beginning of his term in 1933, until his death in 1945. The President believed that the only way to get out of the Great Depression effectively was through the implementation of Keynesian economic policies, that is, through the active participation of the federal government in the economy.

Thus, from the beginning of his government, Roosevelt began to carry out government programs of various kinds, all aimed at the same objective of redirecting the economy on a path of growth, creating jobs and investment that energizes the economy and provides well-being to citizens. For this reason, programs such as the Work Progress Administration, the Social Security Act or the Tennessee Valley Authority, which through public investment sought to achieve these objectives, were the perfect example of a new trend through which the federal government would begin to participate much more actively in the economy.
