The correct option is "4)Trail of Tears"

The Trail of Tears, is the name that received the exile to the western United States of the Choctaw in 1831 and of the Cherokees in 1838 by imposition of the Americans. As a result of this migration, an estimated four thousand Cherokee Indians were killed. In the Cherokee language, this event is called "Nunna daul Isunyi."
