Answer 1

B. Colonists were forbidden from settling land west of the Appalachians to prevent conflicts with

American Indians.

Step-by-step explanation:

The term of the proclamation that the American Indians hoped the British would enforce is "Colonists were forbidden from settling land west of the Appalachians to prevent conflicts with American Indians."

This is evident in the fact that the Proclamation Act of 1763 stated among other things that "And whereas it is just and reasonable and essential to our interest and the security of our colonies that the several nations or tribes of Indians with whom we are connected, and who live under our protection, should not be mólested or disturbed in the possession of such parts of our dominions and territories as, not having been ceded to or purchased by us, are reserved to them, or any of them, as their hunting grounds; we do, therefore…declare it to be our royal will and pleasure that no governor or commander in chief, in any of our colonies of Quebec, East Florida, or West Florida, do presume, upon any pretense whatever, to grant Warrants of survey or pass any Patents for Lands beyond the bounds of their respective governments..."
