The most accurate response is: **Diseases substantially weakened Indigenous armies.** Old World diseases, such as smallpox, influenza, and measles, had a devastating impact on Indigenous populations in the New World, leading to large-scale mortality that significantly weakened their societal structures and military capabilities. This decline in population and health contributed to their vulnerability in warfare against European conquistadors.
