Answer 1

A. Native American tribes competed for resources and were independent of each other.

Step-by-step explanation:

The culture of the indigenous people of America varies greatly. The language, clothing, and customs vary greatly from one culture to another. This is due to the extensive distribution of the Native American tribes and the adaptations to the different regions of America. For that reason, at the time of the arrival of the Europeans during the Age of Exploration, Native American tribes competed for resources and were independent of each other and did not band together to fight European conquerors and settlers. It happened across the Americas and was used as an advantage by the European colonizers. In Peru, for example, Pizarro allied with Huascar and other native tribes against the Inca Atahualpa to conquer the Inca empire, and in Mexico, Cortes allied with the Totonacas against the Aztecs.
