Answer 1

The answer is going to be A. the removal of all gold from the Americas. The Spanish were not even close to getting all the gold that was placed in the American continents. It is actually considered quite a failure that the Spanish went to the Americas for gold and came back with barely anything to show.

I hope this helps!
