d. the races of each of the person's parents

I choose letter D. The races of each of the person's parents. Ancestry was the biggest factor in determining one’s social status in a Spanish colony.  Those who are pure Spanish that were born in Spain were the ones at the top.  The lesser your Spanish heritage the lower your standing in society.
