To discover new wealth

Answer 1

The reasons Spain was motivated to compete with Portugal include:

• To extend their power
• To gain more influence around the world
• To discover new wealth

The option "To allow Portugal to settle most of the Americas" does not apply as Spain was motivated to assert its own claims and influence in the Americas, rather than allowing Portugal to dominate that area.
