To choose the correct answer, I would need to know the ideas expressed in the excerpt you are referring to. However, based on common themes in historical discourse regarding indigenous peoples and colonial practices, I can provide some guidance.

If the excerpt discusses the inhumanity or moral objections to exploiting, enslaving, or discriminating against indigenous peoples, it is likely to most directly challenge:

- (Choice C) enslaving indigenous people as laborers in the encomienda system

If the excerpt emphasizes religious freedom or cultural respect, it could challenge:

- (Choice A) converting indigenous people to Christianity through missionary work

If it focuses on land rights or sovereignty, it may challenge:

- (Choice D) taking indigenous land for colonization by creating unfair treaties

If it supports social equality or the rights of mixed-race individuals, it might challenge:

- (Choice B) mixed-race relationships between Spaniards and indigenous people

Therefore, without seeing the specific ideas expressed in the excerpt, I cannot accurately identify which choice it most directly challenges. If you can provide more context from the excerpt, I can help you determine the best answer more effectively.
