Answer:
D. The source is not credible because it contains more opinions than facts.
Explanation:
From the analysis of the excerpt, information of the author, and the source of the material, it can be concluded that " The source is not credible because it contains more opinions than facts."
This is evident in that, the author is a high school student which does not make him "an authority" in the subject. Also, the website is not a reliable source for peer-reviewed or scholarly articles.
Also, there were a series of recorded conflicts, fights, or wars between the European settlers and the Native Americans. For example Proclamation of 1763 & Pontiac's War, Battle of Point Pleasant, etc.
Hence, the correct answer is option D
