Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• "guerrilla" refers to a fighter in an irregular military group, not a land agent.
• "privateer" is a privately owned armed ship or its crew, unrelated to land settlement.
• "filibuster" involves political obstruction or unauthorized military expeditions, not land agency.
• "acquisition" is a noun for obtaining something, not a person.
• "empresario" is a historical term for a land agent granted rights to settle on Mexican land (especially in Texas history).

Answer:

E. empresario
