Which of the following describes a consequence of the reservation system during the 1870s?

During the 1870s, many reservations lacked adequate food and supplies, and tribes faced pressure and restrictions there. Some tribes resisted the system and left reservations rather than remain under these failing conditions. Thus, “Tribes refused to stay on the failing reservations” describes a consequence; the other choices do not fit the widespread conflict and coercion surrounding reservation policy.
