The answer is B. Spain Wanted To Keep European Rivials Far Away From Valuble Towns And Mines In Mexico.  The Spaniards had lost most of their territories to European rivals and the only one that remained was Mexico.  They wanted to preserve the gold that they were getting from the mines in the area.
