I think the best answer is B. D is true, but there is no record that I can find that there were casualties. If D is true, then it is your best answer. A is also true. That was the reason why the army was interested in him. C is not exactly what happened. The buildings were burned.

If you are from Oklahoma, you will find that people either loved him or hated him. Personally I think he's a real hero.

Pick B

The correct answer is B. They destroyed buildings and seized Payne's newspaper, The Oklahoma War Chief.

Explanation:

During one of David Lewis Payne's group trip, federal troops seized The Oklahoma War Chief, his newspaper, burned his buildings and took Payne and his group through the Cherokee nation. As a consequence to this, public empathy rose for Payne and how the federal troops and the government had mistreated him, so the government had to  grant him the trial he had demanded.
