The correct answer is C. The goals of the Coronado expedition included finding the Seven Cities of Cíbola and claiming all the lands north of Mexico for Spain.
Explanation:
Francisco Vasquez de Coronado was a Spanish explorer, best known for the discovery of the southwestern United States.
Coronado arrived in New Spain in 1535 and four years later he became governor of the province of Nueva Galicia (which consisted of the Mexican states of Aguascalientes, Jalisco and Zacatecas). There he heard the stories of the Spanish explorer Cabeza de Vaca about the seven golden cities of Cibola, believed to be a rich Native American settlement northeast of the province. Coronado decided to conduct an expedition over land, to explore and add the area to Spain.
During the trip, the Grand Canyon, the Rio Grande and the southern Rocky Mountains were discovered. The expedition was a flop because no gold was found. Their discovery was a serious setback after the murderous long journey, the danger of the Indians and the food shortage. They had hoped for a lot but this did not live up to their expectations in any way.
