Answer:
D. "His object being to find another treasure like that of Atahualpa, he would not be content with good lands nor pearls.”
Explanation:
Choice D. (the fourth choice) perfectly encapsulates a political incentive to come to the "New World" (Americas) from a European perspective. Many sought to achieve new status or wealth, often looking for new lands to exploit, in this case being the New World.
While the other choices express other reasons to explore and travel to the New World, those are for religious journeys and such.
Choice D. is the only one that displays blatant political motivation.
