The correct response is:
**Spread of diseases and loss of hunting grounds**
Manifest Destiny, the 19th-century doctrine that justified American expansion across the continent, led to the displacement of Native American populations, loss of their ancestral lands, and exposure to new diseases brought by settlers, which significantly contributed to their decline.
