Native Americans condemned termination because of what?A) created additional reservations B) took individual families' plots of land for...

If these are the only three answers from which you are
allowed to choose, the best answer is C.  A is very clearly wrong and B is not really
accurate.


The whole point of the termination policy was to
terminate the "special relationship" between Native Americans and the US government.  It
was meant to force Native Americans to get off their reservations (not create new ones)
and assimilate into mainstream American society.  However, the termination policy did
not really do anything to facilitate assimilation.  It simply forced Indians off
reservations and sent them to cities to "sink or swim."  Because of this, Native
Americans often ended up in impoverished conditions in
slums.


Therefore, the best of the answers offered above is
C.
