The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached we can comment on the following.

Some limitations that historians studying Mesoamerican cultures face when trying to get information is that these Mesoamerican civilizations such as the Aztecs, the Toltecs, the Olmecs, the Mayas, or the Zapotecs registered their stories and events in the form of "codices," which are a series of drawings or pictographs that are not easy to understand or to translate.

In the case of the Mayas, just a little bit is known about them because anthropologists and archeologists haven't been able to understand and translate their codices and teh Mayan stelae.

These Mesoamerican civilizations did not have an alphabet as we know it today. They sculped and craved in stones a series of codices, figures, and representations that must be translated and interpreted.

Explanation:

Here's a (very) brief summary of the fall of the Aztec empire, after the arrival of Hernando Cortes until the fall of Tenochtitlán (read a biography of Hernan Cortez here):

1519 (March 4): The Spaniards land in what is now Veracruz. The natives greet him with gifts. A contingent from Tenochtitlán also arrives with gifts. Cortes showed force and demonstrated his canons, terrifying the messengers.

Cortes sinks all the ships except one small vessel, and moves to the city-state of Tlaxcala. Generally speaking they begin on friendly terms.

The Spanish went on to Cholula. It's unclear what happened, but in the end many people in the city were killed by the Spanish. Read more about Cholula here.

1519 (Nov 8): Cortes and army arrives at Tenochtitlán, and begin on good terms. However, Cortes takes charge and demands tribute and some Roman Catholic shrines to replace the Aztec gods.

Cortes returns to the coast to defeat a rival Spanish army. The remaining soldiers join him.

The Aztecs revolt, driving the Spanish from the city. Cuitláhuac becomes emperor.

The Spanish go to Tlaxcala and make an alliance with them.

Most Aztec cities are conquered, and a siege of Tenochtitlán begins.

1521 (13 August): The last Aztec emperor, Cuauhtémoc, surrenders to Cortes.
