Read the following situation and decide which answer (a-d) best describes

Before Europeans landed in the "New World," there were several
sophisticated and thriving indigenous empires in what is now Latin America.
When the Spanish eventually colonized Latin American, one of the biggest
influences they brought with them was the Catholic religion. Immediately upon
arrival, Spanish priests and missionaries began converting the indigenous
communities from their native belief systems to Catholicism, and often forbid
traditional ceremonies and religious practices. Over time, traditional practices
of Catholicism were often mixed with vestiges of native, indigenous religious
and spiritual beliefs. As native people began to practice Catholicism,
traditional saints began to take on some characteristics and personalities of
indigenous gods, making it easier for local populations to buy into the new
religion. E - correct answer ✔syncretism
