Answer: b. Florida was the first region in the present-day continental United States that Spain colonized.
Explanation:
Florida or Spanish Florida as it was known, was the first territory claimed by a European power in North America.
It was much larger than the present state of Florida and included parts of present day Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, North Carolina and South Carolina.
