Answer:

b. Gold

Explanation:

Georgia was under a law that prohibited non-Native Americans from remaining on Indian reservations unless they had authorization from the state governor. Meanwhile, Georgia allowed white missionaries to remain on Indian reservations. This practice was mainly due to the discovery of gold in these territories, which caused a great uproar in Georgia.
