D. passed a law that required federal banks to pay state taxes.

Explanation:

Before the case was in the Court, In 1818, Maryland had passed legislation to impose taxes on the The Second Bank of the United States that the Congress had chartered in 1816. The problem originated when James W. McCulloch, a cashier of the Baltimore branch of the bank, refused to pay the tax.

In the case, the state of Maryland appealed that the establishment of a Second Bank was unconstitutional since the Constitution didn't say anything about granting that power to Congress. However, the case determined that even if such right wasn't specifically stated in the Constitution, it was part of the "implied powers" of the government enunciated in Article I.

Passed a law that required federal banks to pay state taxes.

Further Explanation:

When there were talks going around regarding the establishment of a national bank in the United States, it already created quite a controversy among the States. When George Washington became the President of the United States, Secretary of Treasury during that time was Alexander Hamilton and he proposed President that there should be a national bank because he wanted regulation of American Currency as it well help to deal with Financial crisis but on the other hand, Thomas Jefferson, who was secretary of State during that time opposed this Idea stating that it will create fear on the mind of states that central government is interfering in their economical decisions. But despite that, Congress created the first national bank for the tenure of 20 years.  

After this tenure was over, the second national bank was formed in the year 1816 and under that, the Central government held 20% of the equity of state bank and many State banks objected to it. In the year 1818, Assembly of the state of Maryland passed a law that levied 15000 Dollars annual tax on banks that were operating in Maryland but were not under state Legislation and the only bank that fit into that category was the second bank of the United States. James William McCullough who was head of the Baltimore branch of the second bank of America refused to pay this tax and then this case went to the Supreme court.
