The statement that is false is B.
While women, African Americans, and immigrants had opportunities to claim land during the First Oklahoma Land Run, minors (children) were not legally able to claim land on their own. Property rights typically required claimants to be adults, so minors were not eligible to claim land as per the regulations of the time.
