Answer:

d. Cortés

Explanation:

In 1521, the Spanish conquistador Cortes plundered the Aztec state on the territory of modern Mexico. Earlier, he said to the messenger of the ruler of this country Montezuma II:

“Tell your master to send us gold, a lot, a lot of gold, because my companions and I suffer from a heart disease that cannot be cured by anything but gold.”

Cortes managed to convince the gullible Aztecs that the Spaniards needed so much gold, because they suffer from a special heart disease that can only be cured by this noble metal.
