Explanation:

The Spanish Mission System was primarily established by Spanish missionaries with the goal of converting Native Americans to Christianity. Developing agricultural estates, establishing military outposts, or creating trade routes were not the main purposes of the mission system; those were more related to other Spanish colonial efforts like encomiendas (for agriculture/labor), presidios (for military), or mercantile activities. The core religious aim was conversion to Christianity.

Answer:

a. To convert Native Americans to Christianity
