Answer 1

The correct response is:

These rebellions were grounded in animosity between the criollos and peninsulares that was based on social and economic issues.

The criollos, or people of Spanish descent born in the Americas, often felt marginalized compared to the peninsulares, who were born in Spain and held many of the high offices and privileges. This tension contributed significantly to the uprisings and independence movements in Spanish America during the early 19th century.
