The Homestead Act granted 160 acres of land to settlers who paid a small filing fee to homesteaders.

The Homestead Act was passed as the government wanted people to live and improve land in the West of the Mississippi River.

The plot given to the individuals after five years of continuation stays on that land.

Under this Act, land in the West was opened for thousands of Americans to settle there.

Many people moved to the West as the population in the eastern states increased.

The 160 acres of land by the government at a small filing fee drove many white Americans to establish ranches and farms.

Therefore we can conclude that homesteaders were given 160 acres of land.

Thus option D. "lt granted 160 acres of land to settlers who paid a small filing fee" is the correct answer.
