Explanation:

The Indian Removal Act of 1830 was part of a broader pattern of discrimination against Native Americans. While it didn't directly prohibit religious - material printing (A), remove religious artifacts for museum displays (B), or prevent practice in sacred areas (C), it forced Native Americans to leave their ancestral lands. In the process of removal and subsequent policies related to it, there were attempts to convert Native Americans to Christianity as part of the assimilation process to receive government benefits, which was a form of religious discrimination.

Answer:

D. It forced Native Americans to convert to Christianity to receive government benefits.
