The correct response is: It enabled them to start colonies in the Americas.

The defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588 marked a significant shift in naval power, allowing England to expand its maritime activities and establish colonies in the Americas, while also limiting Spanish dominance in the region. France benefited as well, as the weakened Spanish influence provided opportunities for French exploration and colonization efforts.
