The correct answer is A. The Spaniard that explored much of the Southeast of what is today the United States was Hernando de Soto.

Explanation:

In 1538, Hernando de Soto left for Florida from Havana. He landed in the Bay of the Holy Spirit (Tampa), from where he entered the continent, to fight from that moment without rest against the weather and hostile Indians.

For three years, his exploration of the southern plains of the current United States was a desperate march to achieve imaginary wealth. He arrived in Alabama in October 1540 and discovered the Mississippi, one of the largest rivers in the world.  

After crossing it to the height of the current Memphis, he reached the plateaus that flank the White River, at the confluence with one of the main tributaries of the Mississippi, the Ohio, and then returned to the great river, where, seriously ill, he died.

an empire is a sovereign state functioning as an aggregate of nations or people that are ruled over by an emperor or another kind of monarch. the territory and population of an empire is commonly of greater extent than the one of a kingdom.[1]

an empire can be made solely of contiguous territories, such as the austro-hungarian empire or the russian empire, or of territories far remote from the homeland, such as a colonial empire. aside from the more formal usage, the word empire can also refer colloquially to a large-scale business enterprise (e.g. a transnational corporation), a political organisation controlled by a single individual (a political boss), or a group (political bosses).[2] the word empire is associated with such other words as imperialism, colonialism, and globalization. empire is often used to describe a displeasure to overpowering situations.[3]
