Answer:
B. They became Christians.
Step-by-step explanation:
The Cherokee had leaders before the settlers came. They hade a war chief and a peace chief. These chiefs were chosen by a tribal council.
They knew how to farm and there is some evidence to support they even had a surplus of food. They mostly grew squash and corn.
They had their language long before the settlers came there.
The only change that was present is them becoming Christians. They surprised the settlers on how open-handed they took the religion. There was of course resistance but they mostly liked the idea of it. They also started to construct roads and a written form of their language was developed.
