Answer:

C. They wanted full independence after being ruled by Spain for so long.

Step-by-step explanation:

Philippine-American War can be seen as the continuation of the revolt against Spanish rule. After Spain withdrew itself from the Philippine land, with the Treaty of Paris in 1898, the command of the Filipinos came under the US. Filipinos were expecting that the US will recognize it as a new government but were refused.

This betrayal led Filipinos to revolt against the United States. Filipinos desired absolute independence after being ruled by Spain for so long.

Therefore, option C is correct.
