Answer
A
allow all American Indians to become citizens.
B
establish labor rights for American Indians.
C
enable all American Indians to buy or rent homes.
D
restore tribal traditions to American Indians.

Explanation

The Indian Reorganization Act of 1934 aimed to reverse policies that weakened tribal governments and cultures. It encouraged tribal self-government and helped restore Native American cultural traditions, so the correct choice is “restore tribal traditions to American Indians.” American Indians had already been granted U.S. citizenship in 1924, and the act was not mainly about labor rights or housing.
