Answer:
b) a system under which the federal government gave annual monetary grants to Indians.
Explanation:
The annuity system was a system under which the government made annual payments to Native people for the sale of their lands. This was sometimes paid in the form of money, but it was most often paid in the form of goods. The goods that the government gave to the tribes were Western in origin, which led to enormous cultural change within these communities. Moreover, the payments contributed to increasing the dependence of the communities upon the government for survival.
