Answer:

B. Native Americans

Step-by-step explanation:

When Columbus and his legionaries came to the Americas in 1492, they brought several diseases, namely Smallpox, to which they were immune. However, the Native Americans had never encountered these diseases and thus had no resistance to them. These diseases swept across the continent and killed somewhere around 90% of Native Americans.
