The best explanation of the effects of the First Cherokee War is:

C. The First Cherokee War led to the forced removal of Indigenous populations into territory farther west, such as Oklahoma.

The war, which took place from 1758 to 1761, resulted in significant loss and displacement for the Cherokee people, and it ultimately contributed to the larger pattern of forced removals and westward expansion that affected many Indigenous populations in North America.
