clear my selection

Explanation:

The Anti - Federalists were concerned that the new Constitution gave too much power to the central government (limitations of state's powers - II). They also strongly advocated for a Bill of Rights, and the lack of one in the original Constitution (no bill of rights - III) was a major point of opposition. They did not oppose the Constitution on the grounds of prevention of anarchy or protection from foreign enemies.

Answer:

C. II and III
