The correct answer is C. People who were of European ancestry that were born in the Americas were called creoles.

Creole is a word used since the time of the European colonization of the Americas, applied to those born in the Americas, but with an European origin. Unlike the indigenous, the Creole was in the Spanish Empire an inhabitant born in America of European parents, or an inhabitant of full European heritage.
