Final answer:

The correct answer is B) Gradual Civilization Act, which the 1860 Province of Canada passed. The Indian Removal Act of 1830 was a separate legislation enforced under President Andrew Jackson's leadership.

Step-by-step explanation:

The 1860 Province of Canada passed the Gradual Civilization Act, not the Indian Removal Act, the Indian Act, or the Royal Proclamation of 1763. The Indian Removal Act of 1830, which is separate from the 1860 legislation, enforced the relocation of Native tribes from their ancestral homelands east of the Mississippi River to territories west of the river.

This act, strongly advocated by President Andrew Jackson and passed by Congress, led to the displacement and suffering of Native American tribes, including the Cherokee, and is infamously associated with the "Trail of Tears."

Hence, Option B is correct.
