Answer 1

Based upon the chart, the nation whose population most shows the effect of colonization is **Honduras**. This is evident from the significant percentage of the population identified as "Mixed Amerindian and European," which reflects the blending of indigenous populations with European colonizers, a common outcome of colonization. The presence of both Amerindian and mixed heritage further indicates the impact of colonial history in the region.
