    The correct answer is A) Influential Georgians

    Explanation:

    The Yazoo Land Act was a law that enabled the then Governor of Georgia, George Matthews. The law enabled local leaders to sell large parts of land to rich and politically well-connected individuals in the State.

    The lands sold were part of modern Mississippi and Alabama and were sold at very low prices to only a few people.

    The Act was eventually repealed by the Supreme Court and it is now known as the Yazoo Land Fraud.
