I am not going to give you the specific answer but it is either B or C.
The major difference was that Roosevelt felt that government spending to help people who were in economic trouble was much more acceptable than Hoover thought it was. Hoover believed in the idea of "rugged individualism" in which people are largely responsible for their own welfare. If people got in economic trouble, private charity was the best way to help them. The government should not be in the business of helping people financially. Roosevelt had different beliefs. At least in a crisis as great as the Depression, he believed, government should be willing to step in and help people who had become poor. Roosevelt's philosophy, then, was much more liberal than that of Hoover.
