Explanation

In 1905, delegates from Indian Territory proposed creating the State of Sequoyah and submitted a statehood application to Congress. Congress did not vote to approve or reject it; the application was set aside before it could be considered. Therefore, the correct choice is “The application was tabled before it could be considered in Congress.”
