Final answer:

The Treaty of Greenville, signed in 1795, is the treaty where Native American tribes ceded much of Ohio and parts of Indiana to the U.S. and acknowledged American political sovereignty. Option 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Treaty of Greenville was concluded in 1795 following the Northwest Indian War. It was signed between the United States and various tribes on the northwest frontier.

This treaty resulted in Native American tribes ceding much of Ohio and parts of modern-day Indiana to the United States, which included the sites of the future cities of Detroit, Chicago, and Toledo.

The signatory tribes also acknowledged American political sovereignty. In return, these tribes were granted lands beyond the "Greenville Treaty Line". Although it was supposed to establish a "lasting boundary," the pressures from settlers led to further encroachment into indigenous territories shortly after the treaty was signed.

The other treaties mentioned, such as the Treaty of Paris, formally ended the American Revolutionary War.

The Jay Treaty dealt with unresolved issues between the United States and Great Britain after the American Revolution; and the Treaty of Ghent ended the War of 1812, with the United States and Great Britain agreeing to return to pre-war borders, except for the Native Americans, whose agreement was not honored.

Option 2 is correct.
