C. England proved itself as a great power in Europe.
Explanation: The defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588 stopped Philip II’s planned invasion, boosted English naval prestige and confidence, and marked England’s rise as a major European and maritime power. It did not give England Spanish territory or make it the sole naval power, nor did it immediately transfer Spanish colonies to England.
