Francisco Santana · Answer 1

The answer is A. B is partly correct (if you look into the far future), but the Spanish in no way did respect the Native Americans way of life. C is just B repeated, but flipped around and worded differently. While the Spanish did usually order the Native Americans to convert to Christianity, they didn't force them to adopt the complete Spanish culture.
