The correct response is:

It sought to undermine their autonomy.

The coup led by Antonio López de Santa Anna angered both Anglo-Texans and Tejanos primarily because it undermined the autonomy and self-governance they had enjoyed. Santa Anna's centralization of power threatened the rights and local governance that these groups had previously experienced, leading to widespread discontent and resistance.
