Question

The colonial leader who represents a monarch is called a __________. A. missionary B. conquistador C. viceroy D. peninsular

Answer 1

I would say C Viceroy

Answer 2

The correct option is:

C. viceroy.

A Viceroy is an official appointed to rule a country, colony, city, province, or sub-national state, as the deputy of the monarch of the territory. A viceroy's territory may be called a viceroyalty.

Viceroy is not a noble rank as much as a form of royal appointment. However, a person enacted as viceroy often also holds a noble title.
