The statement that is true about the Caribbean's population is:

"About three-fourths of the people speak Spanish as their primary language."

Spanish is indeed the most widely spoken language in the Caribbean, particularly due to the populations of Cuba, the Dominican Republic, and Puerto Rico. The other statements have inaccuracies regarding the distribution, origins, and control of the territories in the Caribbean.
