Answer:

The answer would be B. The arrival of Cortes

Step-by-step explanation:

When Cortes reached South America on November 8th, 1519, it was the first domino that fell which led to the loss of the Aztecs. Colonial greed led to the decimation of millions, theft of items that would total to billions of dollars in modern-day currency, and that was merely just those of the Spanish crown.
