Explanation:

Declining American Indian populations due to disease contributed to the collapse of the Spanish mission system in Georgia in the mid-1600s. The correct answer is C.

EXPLANATION  

The Spanish mission in Georgia aimed to carry out Catholic doctrine among Native Americans. The Spanish mission began in 1568 and ended in 1684. The mission was handled by the Franciscan order, which was mostly carried out on what is now Georgia and Florida. The aim was to evangelize the Indian tribes and also teach them with norms and lifestyles that are considered more civilized by Spain.

Initially, the implementation of this mission was quite successful. Evidenced by the request from the heads of the villages of Native Americans to send more missionaries from Spain to their land. However, Spain experienced difficulties in financing to continue carrying out the mission.

Two main factors that led to the cessation of this mission were the emergence of a disease outbreak that attacked young people and local residents. Between 1656 and 1657, there was a significant population decline, coupled with the tribes' displacement that also contributed to ending the mission system.

However, there was another factor that led to the end of the mission, namely the formation of an alliance between Indian tribes and pirate robbers from England. An attack in 1684 carried out by pirates ended all the efforts of Spanish missionaries.
