The correct response is:

It sought to undermine their autonomy.

The coup led by Antonio López de Santa Anna angered both Anglo-Texans and Tejanos because it centralized power and diminished the local governance and autonomy that they had enjoyed under the previous political arrangements. This change was seen as a direct threat to their rights and self-determination.
