Which option does not describe a proposal from President John Quincy Adams for the use of government subsidies?

a. To provide lands and funds for the construction of a National cemetery for the country's fallen soldiers

b. To fund scientific explorations to advance the knowledge of plants and animals around the world

c. To build a National University

d. To build astronomical observatories to improve the understanding of the Solar System

John Q. Adam's proposals are often refereed to the proof that he achieved the presidency too late since he was all for federalism, but his era was one of states rights. His proposals included:

funding a federal role in education strengthening of the army and navy establishing a naval academy protecting the rights of Native Americans funding scientific expeditions.

Those can be seen in options A, B and C clearly, but not as clearly in option D, which should be the answer:

d. To build astronomical observatories to improve the understanding of the Solar System
