Answer:

A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Francisco Vázquez de Coronado, Spanish explorer, set on his expedition in 1540 and led about 300-400 Spaniards, over 1000 Native Americans, horse, pigs, ships, etc to Mexico's west and to the present day region, Kansas.

He set on his expedition in search of the Seven Golden Cities, affirmed by explorers such as Cabez. Coronado appointed the Turk, to be his guide for his exploration in the Mexico and Western parts of the region.

The Turk, however, recounted about the land with much gold, silver, etc in the region of Quivira. The description about the land was a lie, as the Turk lured the Spaniards into the region to kill the explorers.

Coronado, then, ordered the Turk garroted. He was executed because of the lie he told them. Thus the correct answer is option A, executed.
