The correct answer is C.

The Indian Removal Act was signed by Andrew Jackson in 1830 and started the forced removal of Native Americans from their homelands in the east. Many of these tribes were forced to move west of the Mississippi River. Specifically, these tribes ended up in a territory that is now known as Oklahoma. This forced removal resulted in thousands of Native American deaths and would become known as the "Trail of Tears."
