The correct answer is A. People who decided to explore La Florida were expecting to find a waterway to take them to China and Japan; Cibola; and gold.

Explanation:

When the Spaniards launched themselves into the exploration of the seas, they did so with the intention of finding a new route to Asia. Once the American continent was discovered, they began to explore it without neglecting their intention to reach the Indies.

In turn, once America was discovered, news and legends of large quantities of gold spread throughout its territories, which caused European fortune hunters to embark in search of these treasures. In particular, one of the main legends that were generated from this situation was that of Cibola, a city entirely built in gold, whose wealth was incalculable, to which it was located hypothetically in Florida.

Therefore, all three aspects equally motivated the exploration of the Florida peninsula.
