Explanation:

The Whigs favored higher protective tariffs to protect American industries. They supported a national banking system for a more stable financial system. They also wanted federal funds for internal improvements like building roads and canals to enhance economic development. Group B's ideas (fear of mixed economy, pro - slavery stance, support for western expansion) do not align with Whig beliefs. The Whigs were more focused on economic development through government - supported infrastructure, banking, and tariffs rather than the aspects mentioned in Group B.
