1. both

Columbus was an explorer by nature, so naturally, one of his prime motivations for having expeditions was to gain more knowledge of the world, to discover new places, and gain a good status because of it. Apart from that, Columbus was also interest in the wealth of the new places he would discover, and that is not surprising considering that there was a race for resources and wealth going on between the Western European countries. Columbus managed to achieve both to a particular point. While he managed to explore new territories, he was actually not aware that those were undiscovered territories. He managed to get some wealth back to the crown, but not in the amount that he and crown wanted.

2. The treatment of the people that Columbus and his men encountered in the New World was not the best. Because of his goals, but also the demands from the crown, his attitude toward the native population was terrible. After arriving, Columbus immediately imposed as superior to the native people, considering them as primitive and backward people. That led to treating the natives as people that might be used as a labor force if needed, but also he tried to force them to accept the crown, give up on their culture, and accept his culture and religion. That led to conflict, and lot of people were slaughtered because of those reasons.

A) Christopher Columbus was interested in both wealth and knowledge when exploring the "New World."

B) Christopher Columbus used the people already living there (aka the indigenous population) as a means to acquire resources and tried to conquer their land.

Further Explanation:

Christopher Columbus's famous voyage in 1492 resulted in the opening of the Americas (aka North, Central, and South America) to European exploration. His main goal was to acquire resources and Gold for the Queen and King of Spain since they were the individuals responsible for funding his trip. More specifically, Columbus was in search of gold and precious spices to bring back to Spain. This is evident from the quote, as Columbus clearly states "For my desire is to see and discover as much as I can before returning to your Highnesses..."

To accomplish these goals, Columbus used the people already living there as a resource. Columbus's contact with the indigenous population would ultimately result in destruction for these populations. Exposure to European diseases that they did not build up resulted in the death of hundreds of thousands of indigenous people over the course of the 15th and 16th centuries.
