Answer: d. take them prisoner

Explanation: Indeed, the sentence is very clear: "we shall make them our captives." Aztecs took prisoners for two purposes: to sacrifice them to their gods, and for commoner soldiers, to climb up the social ladder and the capture of prisoners was rewarded with a higher rank in society or the army.
