The answer to the question given is letter B.

Susan Shown Harjo is an American Indian Rights advocate. As stated on her "Last Rites for Indian Dead", Indian remains had been collected from burial sites as artifacts--specifically for racial biological studies. She further emphasized why Native American remains should not be collected. She said: remains of American Indian people must be recognized by their country. They are not artifacts. These remains should not be bought and sold as collector's items.
