Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

This is due to the fact that only Native Americans who agreed to the separation of tribal territories were allowed to become citizens of the United States. As a result, the government took over 90 million acres of tribal territory from Native Americans and sold it to non-native Americans.

Hope this helped :)
