Answer:

A: They believed Indians to be primitive people with superstitious beliefs and practices.

Explanation:

The text shows that the people of that region were afraid of being in that lonely and melancholy place where Tom Walker was. This fear was created by a cultural concept that said the Indians of that region were primitive people with superstitious beliefs and practices. This is because a story was passed from generation to generation that confirmed that the Indians maintained enchantments in that place and made sacrifices to the evil spirit.
