Hi.

The answer you are looking for is option c. reservations regained tens of thousands of acres of land.

This was already answered in another site but I hope this still helps.

The correct answer is C. Reservations did not regain tens of thousands of acres of land as a result of the Dawes Act.

Explanation:

The Dawes Act was a law passed by Congress in 1887, that decided to register the lands of Indian tribes and divide them into individual plots. Indians who agreed to live separately from a tribe on a registered site could receive US citizenship.

The main purpose of the law was to improve the living conditions of Native Americans and their assimilation. In this case, the implementation of individualization of farms seemed an important step. The act also allowed the state to borrow the remaining land after distribution and sell it to non-Native Americans.

b. they tried to evict the squatters from the area.

so sorry if wrong
