d. while most land policies granted land to individuals to encourage settlement in georgia, the yazoo act led to the sale of land to companies that bribed state lawmakers

Explanation:

The Yazoo Act was a controversial land - sale in Georgia. Unlike other land policies (such as the headright system which gave land to individuals to encourage settlement and land lotteries which distributed land to citizens), the Yazoo Act involved the sale of large tracts of land to companies. This was done through corrupt means as state lawmakers were bribed.

Answer:

D. While most land policies granted land to individuals to encourage settlement in Georgia, the Yazoo Act led to the sale of land to companies that bribed state lawmakers.
