All of the Indigenous groups listed—Catawba, Cusabo, Cherokee, and Creek—adapted their cultures in various ways to survive alongside European settlement. However, if you need to choose one that is particularly known for their adaptations in response to European colonization, many historians highlight the Cherokee (option C) for their extensive efforts in adopting aspects of European culture, such as creating a written language and establishing a formal government.
Therefore, the best answer would be C. Cherokee.
