Answer 1

The correct response is:

Spain created a massive empire.

This option highlights the extensive territorial conquests and colonization efforts that Spain undertook in the Americas, establishing a vast empire that included large portions of South America, Central America, and parts of North America. In contrast, the French and Dutch focused more on trade, including the fur trade, and their colonization efforts were less expansive in terms of territory compared to the Spanish.
