A

Both the Maya and the Inca were conquered by Spanish conquistadors.
Why the others are incorrect:
- B: The Maya had a hieroglyphic writing system; the Inca did not (they used quipu knot-records, not glyphs).
- C: Both were complex societies, but the Maya were in Mesoamerica while the Inca were in the Andean region of South America.
- D: The Maya developed two well-known calendars; the Inca had calendrical/astronomical practices but not the same two-calendar system.
