Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The Mississippian Indians had been killed by European diseases after DeSoto's interaction. Native Americans had little immunities to European diseases. 90% of all Native Americans were wiped out by European diseases, like smallpox and the flu. (Source: Guns, Germs, and Steel by Jared Diamond.)
