The correct answer is C) they were treated poorly and forced to work for spanish business.

During Spanish colonization, the encomienda system was established. This larbor system exploited the work of Native Americans. This system resulted in Native Americans working on farms and plantation for Spanish colonizer. The conditions on these farms and plantations were poor and the Native Americans received almost no benefits for working for these rulers. Ultimately, all the resources cultivated were used to make the Spanish money, not the Native Americans.
