Answer:

D.

Step-by-step explanation:

The land of Georgia was first explored by Spanish explorer, Hernando de Soto in 1540. He led an expedition in the present day Georgia in his quest for gold, silver, and wealth.

Spanish explorers, from great influence of St. Augustine, began to preach to the natives of Georgia. They began living among the Natives peacefully as they were converted to Christianity.

Thus from the given options, the correct statement is D.
