The correct answer is C. Pizarro and his forces attacked the Inca and captured their Emperor, Atahualpa, because the Inca Empire was weak because of a civil war.

Explanation:

The conquest of the Inca Empire began on November 16, 1532 when an Inca army met in Cajamarca with the Spanish conquistadors led by Francisco Pizarro, shortly after the end of the civil war between the two heirs to the Inca throne, Huascar and Atahualpa. In this meeting, Atahualpa, who was still celebrating his triumph over Huascar, was taken prisoner by the Spaniards and months later executed on July 26, 1533. Later the Spaniards, allied with the Canaris, Chachapoyas and other ethnic groups until then vassals of the Incas, marched to Cuzco, the capital of the empire, where they entered on November 14, 1533 and proclaimed Manco Inca as the new Inca, with the intention of turning him into a puppet king. But soon Manco led a war of reconquest, besieging Cuzco and the newly founded city of Lima (1535). Although they caused great casualties to the Spaniards, Manco finally had to retire to the wild mountains of Vilcabamba, where he installed the seat of the Inca monarchy (1538), while the rest of the territory was occupied by the Spaniards, who carried forward the process of settlement and colonization. The reign of these Incas of Vilcabamba would last until 1572, when the Viceroy Francisco de Toledo would execute the last of them: Tupac Amaru I.
