The right conclusion is C) A diverse group of people led Latin American independence movements. L'Ouverture, Bolívar and Hidalgo had very different backgrounds (a former slave, a noble and a priest, respectively), yet they all led revolutionary movements that fought for the independence (or the autonomy, in the specific case of Haiti) of the various Latin American territories from their European colonizers.
