The correct answer to the question regarding the Indian Removal Act is option B, 'Be forced to move,' as this accurately reflects the coercive nature of the legislation. The act mandated the relocation of Native Americans from their lands, often resulting in traumatic experiences. Although some may have left voluntarily, the overarching reality was a forced removal, underscoring the lack of genuine options available to Native Americans.
