Viceroys are below the king in authority in Spain's government of the settlements. Viceroys, or vice kings, were the equivalent to today's Vice Presidents.

Answer:

Option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Viceroys, is the right answer.

Viceroy is a person who governs a nation or region as the delegate of his monarch or dictator and who is authorized to operate in the name of the Sovereign. In the colonies of Spain, the post of Viceroy was given to the main governors, also to the administrators of the “kingdoms” of peninsular Spain peculiar (for instance, Aragon, Valencia).
