Explanation:

The Indian Removal Act empowered the president to set aside western land for Native nations, pay them for their eastern lands/improvements, and cover relocation costs. This amounts to exchanging new western land and monetary compensation for their original eastern lands. The other options do not match the described powers: there is no mention of reducing their existing land to sell it, or forcing cohabitation between white and Native Americans.

Answer:

give Native American nations money and new land in exchange for their land in the East
