The correct answer is C. The US Supreme Court refused to hear the 1831 Cherokee Nation v. Georgia case because it did not recognize the Cherokee tribe as a sovereign nation.

Explanation:

When Georgia wanted to extend state laws on Cherokee tribal lands, the matter reached the Supreme Court of the United States. In the Cherokee Nation v. Georgia (1831), the Marshall Court ruled that the Cherokees were not a sovereign and independent nation, and therefore refused to hear the case. However, in Worcester v. State of Georgia (1832), the Court ruled that Georgia could not impose its laws in Cherokee territory, since only the national government - and not the state governments - had authority in Indian affairs.

the answer is the government.
