Answer 2

Decreasing, is the right answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Encomienda was a labor system of Spain. According to this system, the conquerors were awarded a particular group of people for laboring. The foundation of this system can be seen in the years following the Christian conquest of Muslim nations. However, the system was actively applied to a much wider range in the period that follows the Spanish colonization of the Americas and the Philippines. However, the formation of this system and the appointment of viceroys foretell decreased level of Spanish preoccupation in the Americas.
