Answer 1

C. made into slaves

While the Aborigine population did face severe challenges and declines due to various factors, being made into slaves is not historically accurate in the same way it applies to other groups in different contexts. The primary reasons for the population decline included loss of land, advanced weaponry used by British settlers, and the introduction of European diseases.
