The best answer is:
(Choice B) to limit costly conflicts over access to land between American colonists and indigenous communities.
The Proclamation of 1763 was established by the British government to manage relations with Native Americans and aimed to prevent settlers from encroaching on indigenous lands west of the Appalachian Mountains, thereby avoiding conflict and reducing the costs associated with warfare.
