Which long-term effect did Spanish colonization have on the Western Hemisphere? A. It led to Canada using road signs in both English and Spanish B. It led to the nation of Brazil adopting Spanish as its official language C. It led to Spanish being spoken by half the population of region D. It led to the largest Spanish-speaking population living in the United States

C. It led to Spanish being spoken by half the population of region

Explanation:

Given that Western Hemisphere covers both North and South America, the long-term effect that Spanish colonization has on the Western Hemisphere is that "It led to Spanish being spoken by half the population of the region" This is evident when about 18 countries and one territory in America speaks Spanish as their official language.

Option A is wrong because Canada uses both English and French for road signs.

Option B is wrong because Portuguese is used in Brazil

Option D is wrong because English is the largest speaking population in the United States
