C. Simón Bolívar was a key leader in the independence movement in South America.

Juan Perón, while a significant leader in Argentina's 20th-century politics, was not involved in the independence movements of the early 19th century. Francisco Pizarro was a Spanish conquistador who played a key role in the conquest of the Inca Empire, not in the independence movements.
