c) a mestizo

d) a slave

B) a Creole

In New Spain, Creoles were those born in American territory, but whose parents were both Peninsulares (Spaniards). Creoles and peninsulares were the people with the most political power in New Spain. However, Creoles would have been more interested in achieving self-government than most peninsulares, who still greatly valued their ties to Spain. However, while many Creoles would have supported independence, they were unlikely to support a complete social revolution, as they did not want to risk losing their political power.
