c. King William's War

d. The War of Jenkins' Ear

Option D.

Explanation:

The War of Jenkins' Ear, is the right answer.

The War of Jenkins' Ear was a struggle between Britain and Spain persisting in the years between 1739-1748, largely in New Granada and the Caribbean, with major services mostly came to an end by 1742. The roots of the struggle can be observed in the injury of Jenkins after the boarding of his ship by Spanish coast guards in the year 1731. The public acknowledgement to the conflict was moderate until several years later when antagonist diplomats and the British South Sea Company expected to encourage indignity against Spain, considering that a successful war would enhance the trading opportunities of Britain in the Caribbean.
