The correct answer is:

A. Spain

The Spanish colonies had the encomienda system, which subjected Native Americans to forced labor. The encomienda was a Spanish labor system that exploited the Indians for personal profits rather than slaves imported from Africa. It rewarded conquerors with the labor of particular groups of subject people in the Spanish colonization of the Americas and the Philippines
