c.

The correct answer is B) to discover gold.

A common goal of Spanish and British explorers in the Southeastern region of North America was to discover gold.

European powers knew that many territories in North America had an immense amount of natural resources and raw materials that could benefit their respective monarchies.

Spaniards had found precious metals such as gold in the region of Peru in South America and Tenochtitlan, the capital city of the Aztec Empire. So when exploring the Southeastern region of North America, Spanish and English explorers tried to find as many raw materials and of course, gold, to take them to their native countries. They specifically were looking for gold and the mysterious city of Cibola.

the committees of correspondence were the american colonies’ means for maintaining communication lines in the years before the revolutionary war. in 1764, boston formed the earliest committee of correspondence to encourage opposition to britain’s stiffening of customs enforcement and prohibition of american paper money. the following year, new york formed a similar committee to keep the other colonies notified of its actions in resisting the stamp act. in 1773, the virginia house of burgesses proposed that each colonial legislature appoint a committee for intercolonial correspondence. the exchanges that followed built solidarity during the turbulent times and bring about the formation of the first continental congress in 1774.
