Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

It allowed the Spanish Government to control South America from a distance by alloting huge amounts of land and thousands of Native Americans in a kind of fuedalism. The system became slavery and the labor force was dying in astronomical numbers to smallpox. The eventual solution to this was to import African slaves who would not succumb to disease but were expensive because the Native Americans did not cost money at all.
