What was a shortcoming of the 1993 "Apology Resolution" passed by the US Congress?

Answer
A
The resolution failed to acknowledge the illegal overthrow of the Hawaiian kingdom.
B
The resolution failed to provide federal recognition to Native Hawaiians.
C
The resolution led to the restoration of the Hawaiian monarchy.
D
The resolution declared Hawaii an independent nation.

Explanation

The 1993 Apology Resolution acknowledged the United States’ role in the illegal overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom and apologized for it. However, it did not establish a process for federal recognition of Native Hawaiians or create a government-to-government relationship with them. Therefore, the shortcoming was that it failed to provide federal recognition to Native Hawaiians.
