D. All of the above.
The decreased Native American population by more than 80% from 1850 to the 1870s was a result of a combination of factors, including loss of land and freedom, violence, forced relocations, and the devastating impacts of diseases, which led to widespread suffering, starvation, and death. The process of westward expansion by European settlers, along with government policies and actions, significantly contributed to the decline of Native American populations during this period.
