Answer 2

Empresario is Spanish word for a land agent whose job it was to bring new settlers to an area.

Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

We can also say that Empresario is a Spanish word for an Entrepreneur. An ''Empresario'' was a person granted a privilege to bring new settlers and taking their responsibility in the Coahuila y Tejas state(Coahuila and Texas) in the early 19th century, in return they would get piece of land as a premium.

They were also granted the job to encourage slavery in the given area even though slavery was banned by Mexico in 1829. All this was done to settle the newly independent Texas.
