D
Indigenous peoples left the area west of the Appalachian Mountains to settle farther east.

Explanation

After Pontiac’s Rebellion, the British issued the Proclamation of 1763, which reserved lands west of the Appalachian Mountains for Indigenous peoples and restricted colonial settlement there. Colonists resisted the restriction and continued moving west, so the best choice is that the land was set aside but colonists refused to leave.
