Europeans who settled in the Spanish colonies in the 16^th century

A) often had to bribe women from Spain to settle in the colonies because they could not marry the native Indians.
B) found it difficult to raise any animals in the Caribbean due to the climate and the natural predators.
C) often had to learn to eat unfamiliar Indian crops to survive.
D) had complete immunity from all native diseases.

European settlers in the Spanish colonies had to adapt to the local environment, which included incorporating indigenous crops into their diet for survival. Other options are inaccurate; for instance, intermarriage between Europeans and native populations did occur, animal husbandry was adapted to local conditions, and Europeans were certainly not immune to all native diseases, as evidenced by the devastating impacts of diseases like smallpox on both native populations and Europeans.
