Answer 2

The correct answer is B. Spanish was involved in most of South America and some of North America.

Step-by-step explanation:

After the discovery of the Americas in 1492, Spain explored and conquered large areas of territory in America, from the current southwest of the United States, Mexico and the Caribbean, to Central America, most of South America and the northwest coast of North America (present-day Alaska and British Columbia) All these territories were integrated in the Crown of Castile and, later, in the Spanish Crown. Initially they were organized in two viceroyalties, that of New Spain and that of Peru.
