The correct answer is: **A. It interfered with their nomadic lifestyle.**

The introduction of barbed wire in the late 19th century significantly impacted the Plains Indians by restricting their movement across the land. As ranchers and farmers used barbed wire to enclose land, it disrupted the traditional nomadic hunting and gathering practices of the Plains Indians, limiting their access to resources and altering their way of life.
