Explanation:

According to a different source, these are the options that come with this question:

A. African slaves outnumbered the indigenous population by nearly 50 percent.

B. The indigenous population had no immunity against the European diseases.

C. Internal conflicts left the empires fractured and unstable.

D. The Europeans had stronger weapons and better armour against the arsenals of the indigenous population.

African slaves played no factor in the Spanish conquest of the Aztec and Inca empires. Prior to the conquest, there were no African slaves in America, as the Spanish were the first people to arrive to America in many centuries. African slaves did not become a staple of the colonies until the empires had fallen and the Europeans had established their own government there.
