The correct response is:

It ignored that fact that Native American lands were sovereign and not technically part of the United States.

The Worcester v. Georgia ruling established that Native American nations were sovereign entities, and that the state of Georgia did not have the authority to impose its laws on them. The Indian Removal Act of 1830 went against this ruling by facilitating the forced removal of Native Americans from their lands, disregarding their sovereign status.
