The correct answer is D) Appalachian Mountains.

The Proclamation Line of 1763 was established by the British government to regulate westward expansion and prevent conflicts between settlers and Native Americans. It ran roughly along the crest of the Appalachian Mountains, prohibiting colonists from settling west of this line to ensure peace with Indigenous peoples.
