C. Catholicism was the main religion practiced by native peoples in the region.
D. Catholicism spread across the region because of Catholic missionaries from the US.
The answer to this question is B. Catholicism spread across the region because of European colonization
Step-by-step explanation:
Before territories in Central America and the Caribbean (American continent) were colonized there were multiple native groups with own religions, which included deities inspired in elements such as death, life, rain, the sun, the moon, etc. However, these religions changed after colonialism because Central America and the Caribbean were mainly colonized by Spanish, and during this time Catholicism was the main religion in this European country. This means Catholicism was spread through European colonizers who imposed their religion to natives (option B.)
