The event that helped lead to the Latin American freedom causes is:

A. The rise of strong Latin American leaders guided by Enlightenment ideals.

While other factors, such as the influence of the Haitian Revolution and the weakening of Spanish power due to Napoleon's invasions, also played a role, the emergence of leaders who were inspired by Enlightenment ideals significantly contributed to the push for independence across Latin America.
