B The encomienda system subjected native peoples to forced labor.

Explanation:

Spanish colonies followed a semi-feudal system in which the King granted the Encomienda. It provided colonist with land and forced labor. Forced labor was used for everything from agriculture to mining. Slavery existed, but it was concentrated in the Caribbean Island and in the coastal areas which had a smaller native population.
