Answer 1

C. The Cherokee and the British had an unequal trade relationship.

Tensions rose because British traders often treated the Cherokee unfairly (cheating, poor prices, withholding trade goods/gifts), which, along with land encroachment and mistreatment by colonial officials and militias, helped spark the Second Cherokee War.
