The correct answer is D. Creoles.
Explanation
Creole is a term used to refer to people of European origin born in America during the time of the European Colonization of America. The Creoles were an important group during the Independence process because they formed an international movement in the colonies to establish identity traits typical of the colonies from the mixture of European and native culture. This movement was strengthened because Creole leaders such as Simón Bolívar and José de San Martín supported their ideology on ideas from the European Enlightenment such as liberty and equality. According to the above, the correct answer is D. Creoles.
