The correct answer is D) They lived only in coastal areas.

Prior to the arrival of Europeans, what the natives of North America had in common was that they lived only in coastal areas.

The Native American Indian tribes used to live close to the coastal areas of the Atlantic Ocean due to the benefits the sea gave them.

As European colonists started to arrive, they were gaining more territory and the Native American Indians were displaced inland.
