Answer:

The correct answer is H. Secularized.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Spanish missions in Texas were colonial settlements of a religious character, through which the Spanish Empire established a presence in the American territories. In addition, these missions had a mission to evangelize the natives who lived in these areas, with which the missions had a double function: strategic and religious.

But from the 1800s, and especially after the independence of Mexico, all these establishments began to be secularized, that is, the religious role of these establishments began to be removed, focusing only on the strategic aspect.
