Select the best answer from the choices provided.

A. Plains Indians would have continued to hunt plentiful supplies of bison because eastern Americans had no need for the bison.

B. Eastern Americans only wanted the bison for its leather and coats, so American Indians could still hunt the bison for other parts such as meat and bones.

C. While eastern Americans killed thousands of bison, there still would have been enough bison for American Indians.

D. Eastern demand for bison reduced the population from many millions to only a few thousand, leaving few for American Indians.
