Answer:

A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Indian Removal was an act enacted President Andrew Jackson, on May 28, 1830 into the law. According to this act, Native Americans were forced to leave their ancestral lands and move to the western parts of Mississippi river.

It was a forced migraton of Indians by the US government. This act forced the tribes either to accept US newly enforced law or to leave their homes.

The Indian Removal act did not effect Osage as they were not forced out of their lands, instead they agreed to renounce their lands in exchange of reserved lands in Oklahoma. This decision ultimately made them the wealthiest Native Americans.

Thus the correct option is A.
