Answer 1

The correct answer is c. they used both the church and a system of labor to convert Native Americans.

Spanish methods of conversion often involved a combination of religious instruction and labor systems, such as the encomienda system, where Native Americans were forced to work for Spanish settlers in exchange for protection and Christian teaching. In contrast, French methods tended to focus more on alliances and trade relationships, often allowing for greater religious and cultural exchange.
