This was the Indian Removal Act of 1830, so the option D is the correct one. It was passed during the presidency of Andrew Jackson by the Congress on May 28th.

The correct answer is D.

The Indian Removal Act was signed into law by President Andrew Jackson on May 28, 1830. This Act authorized the President to grant unsettled lands east of the Mississippi in exchange for Indian lands within existing state borders.

This Act is often referred to as an act of systematic genocide because it completely discriminated against an ethnic group, the native Americans.

A few tribes went peacefully but many resisted the relocation policy, especially the Cherokee tribe peoples. About 4,000 of them died on the so called 'Trial of Tears, which was a forced march to a new location.
