One of the main reasons for the discontent among Creoles in Latin America was:
**d. They were excluded from the highest offices.**
Creoles, who were of Spanish descent but born in the Americas, often felt marginalized and sought more political power and equality compared to the peninsulares, who were born in Spain and held the highest positions in colonial administration. This exclusion contributed significantly to the desire for independence and reform in the region.
