The most accurate response regarding the impact of European exploration on Native Americans is:

It resulted in massive numbers of Native American deaths from new diseases.

European exploration introduced a variety of diseases, such as smallpox, influenza, and measles, to which Native Americans had no immunity, resulting in catastrophic population declines.
