Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The wars between France and Spain in the mid-1560s, which were partly fueled by religious conflicts (Catholic Spain vs. Protestant France), led to religious violence that encouraged Huguenots (French Protestants) to seek refuge in colonies outside of France, including a Brazilian colony. This was part of the broader context of religious and political turmoil in Europe influencing colonial ventures in the Americas.
