The correct answer is C. to spread the power of the Catholic Church.
While Spain was also motivated by other factors such as acquiring raw resources and finding new trade routes, a significant aspect of its colonization efforts was the desire to spread Catholicism, especially following the Reconquista and during an era of strong religious influence in Spain.
