The correct response is:
**It redistributed Native American land into individual plots, with much of it sold to white settlers.**
The Dawes Act of 1887 aimed to assimilate Native Americans into American society by allotting individual plots of land to them, which often led to the sale of surplus land to white settlers, resulting in a significant loss of Native American land.
