york was treated exactly like other expedition members.

Explanation:

To answer this, we analyze each option:

• "York was completely ignored by the group" is incorrect as historical records show he participated actively.
• "York was not part of the expedition at all" is wrong because York was part of the Lewis and Clark (Corps of Discovery) expedition.
• "York played a complex role, being both enslaved yet treated with some respect and inclusion" is correct. As an enslaved man, he had a different legal status, but he was involved in tasks, respected for his skills, and included in expedition activities.
• "York was treated exactly like other expedition members" is incorrect because of his enslaved status, which meant unequal treatment in legal and social terms, even though he had some respect and inclusion.

Answer:

York played a complex role, being both enslaved yet treated with some respect and inclusion.
