Answer:

C.Native Americans would have no say in how their land would be broken up for allotment.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Dawes act granted US citizenship to all native american that gave up their land to be broken up and sold to non native americans, this aimed to break up indian territories and make them loose their culture and insert them in the american society. This meant that the Native americans wouldn´t have a say on to whom their territories and land would go.
