D is the correct answer my friend
The correct answer is:
A. Confirming executive appointments
B. Holding impeachment trials
E. Approving international treaties.
Explanation:
The United States Senate is one of the two cameras of the Legislative branch, and is given exclusive powers established in the United States Constitution. Those exclusive powers are:
The power to confirm executive appointments: The President receives the advice and consent of the Senate in a vote process to appoint federal judges, executive positions and ambassadors.
The power to approve international treaties made by the President: Two-thirds of the Senate must vote in favor to approve international treaties, as part of the check and balances system, to restrain the power of the President.
The power to hold impeachment trials: The Senate holds impeachment trials when the House of Representatives decides to impeach an elected official, two-thirds votes are required to remove the officer.

Assuming that you are referring to the territories of today's Mexico, formerly know as <em>New Spain</em>, here is the paragraph:
As Hernan Cortes campaigned throughout the first continental lands of America, the idea that many Spaniards, probably even himself, harbored was that of founding Spain all over again in the newly found and conquered lands. A mix of nostalgia and pride for the Motherland, Spain, must have prompted the <em>Conquistadors</em> to name the cities and provinces they founded after cities and provinces already existing in Spain. One reason for using already familiar names had to do with the difficulty of pronouncing the original names of the places given by the native people, the other one had to do with a sense of control, since most people hold the belief that naming things bestows them with a degree of control over them. And yet another reason may have been the comfort of living in places named after their old home towns and provinces the Spaniards had come from.
Marco Polo traveled during the middle ages (AP period 3), for this the communication technology was not very advanced and Western Europe didn't really know the situation of East Asia and vice versa. When Marco Polo explained his travels to the Europeans of the greatness of China many Europeans decided to go and see for themselves if this greatness was indeed true. When the Europeans arrived in China they were very impressed and a new promotion of travel to China emerged, INCREASING China's economy.
