The most accurate negative consequence of the mitma system among the options provided is:

**It bred resentment among conquered peoples, so these people allied with the Spanish during the Spanish conquest.**

The mitma system involved relocating groups of people, often forcibly, which could lead to resentment and a loss of loyalty among those conquered. This played a role in the ease with which the Spanish were able to conquer the Inca Empire.
