Answer:

Correct answer is criollos .

Criollos is the correct answer because it refers to the class consisted of descendants of Spaniards or the people who had mostly Spanish roots in contrast to other classes.

Peninsulares are the people born in Spain who later moved to the New World as colonists.

Mestizos are the people of mixed heritage, usually of Spanish and Native.

Conquistadores are the people who conquered the New World in the name of Spanish crown.
