Enlightenment ideas.

Reason: Enlightenment concepts of liberty, natural rights, and popular sovereignty helped inspire creole elites and other groups to seek independence. The other options are incorrect — slavery was present (not absent), colonial governments were centralized (not decentralized), and religious persecution was not a primary cause of these independence movements.
