The correct answer is D the discovery of gold.
The removal of the Cherokee people from their land in Georgia was largely driven by the discovery of gold in the area during the early 1830s. This led to a rush of white settlers and increased pressure on the federal government to remove the Native Americans from their ancestral lands, culminating in the tragic events of the Trail of Tears.
