Option: C. The Aztecs and others could not compete against advanced European technology.

Explanation:

By technologically the Native American weapons were primitive and old. By remaining isolated from the rest of the World, the Native Indians did not have any access to modern weapons like the Europeans. Spanish were trained to fight with excellent weapons like lances and swords (made of steel), which was no comparison to the native Indians weapons like clubs, spears, bows, and darts. The Spanish soldiers also used cannons and horses.
