Explanation:

New Deal policies expanded federal government spending, raised taxes, and increased economic regulation to address the Great Depression. Conservative ideology of the time emphasized limited federal intervention, balanced budgets, low taxes, and minimal regulation, which directly conflicted with these New Deal measures. The other options reflect liberal/progressive priorities, not conservative ones.
