Explanation:

• In Spanish - American colonies, peninsulares (born in Spain) held high - level church and government positions.
• Creoles (of Spanish descent but born in the Americas) were often wealthy landowners but were excluded from top - tier positions. This led to resentment among Creoles.
• This resentment was a factor in the fight for independence as Creoles saw independence as a way to gain more power and status.

Answer:

D. They both wanted church and government positions in the Americas, and Creoles resented the fact that the government favored peninsulares.
