Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is B) Murieron por las enfermedades que trajeron los españoles. (They died because of the diseases brought by the Spaniards)

Explanation:

While factors such as violence, war, exploitation, and massacres contributed greatly to the depopulation of the American indigenous people, the main cause for the natives' deaths were the devastating chronic diseases that were brought by Europeans -such as smallpox, influenza, bubonic plague, cholera, and malaria-.
