Answer 1

Without the specific image referred to in your question, I can infer that the developments likely pertain to the realities of labor systems in Spanish colonies during the colonization period. Generally, the mistreatment of Native Americans led to increased opposition from various groups, but the most immediate and direct effect often discussed in historical contexts is the shift towards using enslaved Africans as a labor force due to the drastic decline in the Indigenous population caused by disease and exploitation.

Thus, based on typical historical interpretations, the most direct effect of the situation depicted in the image would likely be:

**(Choice C) the Spanish increased their use of enslaved Africans as a labor force**.
