You didn't provide answer choices, but I can explain why it was called the Trail of Tears.
The US government sought to removed the Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek and Seminole peoples to leave their lands and move west to designated "Indian territory." The Cherokee nation fought the decision in the courts. The Supreme Court (in Worcester v. Georgia) decided in favor of the Cherokee, ruling that the Cherokee and other Indian nations were ""distinct, independent political communities retaining their original natural rights."
But President Andrew Jackson chose not to enforce the court's decision. He said at the time: "The decision of the Supreme Court has fell stillborn, and they find that it cannot coerce Georgia to yield to its mandate." The Cherokee ultimately were forced to relocate and leave Georgia. They were moved to designated territory in Oklahoma.
More than a quarter of the Cherokee people died on the journey to the designated Indian territory because of a lack of food, clothing, supplies and transportation. So it truly was a "trail of tears."
