Explanation:

1. Analyze the first option: Simón Bolívar and José de San Martín were fighting for independence from Spain, not working out deals with Spain for more independent governance. So this option is incorrect.
2. Analyze the second option: Bolívar led independence movements in Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, etc. San Martín led independence efforts in Argentina, Chile, and Peru. Both led independence movements in their own countries and neighboring countries. This matches their historical actions.
3. Analyze the third option: There is no historical evidence that they campaigned on equality and democracy and then became dictators. This misrepresents their roles.

Answer:

B. They led independence movements in their own countries and their neighboring countries.
