Answer:

Correct answer is С . They were killed or pushed farther inland.

Step-by-step explanation:

Option C is correct because when colonists settled here, they pushed Indians away from this territory. Those who opposed them were killed, and then the outbreak of smallpox decimated them.

A is not correct as colonists gave them no territory.

B is also not correct as not only they were not paid, but actually were thrown away.

Last option is especially not correct as no Indians were called to live with colonists.
