Based on the context provided in your question, the correct answer would be:
**(Choice A) enslaving indigenous people as laborers in the encomienda system.**
The ideas expressed in the excerpt most directly challenge the practice of enslaving indigenous people and the injustices associated with the encomienda system, which exploited Native Americans for labor while ostensibly providing them protection and Christian education. While Las Casas advocated for the better treatment of indigenous people, he did not necessarily challenge the conversion missions or the existence of mixed-race relationships; therefore, (Choice A) best reflects the challenge presented by the excerpt.
