The correct answer should be D. Federalists favored a national government with broad powers.

Federalists wanted to have a strong central government that dealt with all aspects of governing the state. The anti federalists didn't want to adopt the constitution without the bill of rights and wanted to limit the power of the government so as to protect individual and state rights and prevent tyranny of a strong central government.
