To determine the answer to this question, we need to assess the historical context of San Antonio de Béxar in Spanish Texas.

In Spanish colonial America, including areas like Spanish Texas, the social hierarchy was structured in a way that favored people of Spanish descent (peninsulares) over other groups.

Considering this context, the most likely individual to hold a government position like being the alcalde (mayor) in San Antonio de Béxar would be a peninsular.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

b) A Peninsular

In the colonial society of New Spain, the social groups can be ordered from those most likely to hold importance in the eyes of society to those least likely as follows:

1) Peninsulares: Peninsulares were individuals who were born in Spain and held the highest status in colonial society. They often held positions of power, authority, and privilege in New Spain.

2) Criollos: Criollos were individuals of Spanish descent who were born in the New World. While they were still considered of higher social standing than other groups, they held less status than Peninsulares.

3) Mestizos: Mestizos refers to individuals of mixed Spanish and indigenous ancestry. They held a lower social standing compared to Peninsulares and Criollos but had higher standing than Indios due to their partial European heritage.

4) Indios: Indios refers to the indigenous peoples of the Americas. They were often marginalized and had the lowest social standing in colonial society.

Therefore, the correct order is:

2) Peninsulares
4) Criollos
1) Mestizos
3) Indios
