The correct answer is C. An intended result of the Latin American revolutions was SEPARATION AND INDEPENDENCE FROM SPAIN.

The independence of the British colonies of North America in 1776 and the abdications of the Bourbon kings in 1808 after the French invasion of Spain were two events that encouraged the independence movement in the weakened Spanish Monarchy.

In response to the enthronement of King Joseph Bonaparte in Spain, between 1808 and 1810 government boards were installed that exercised sovereignty on behalf of the abdicated King Ferdinand VII, both in the Iberian Peninsula and in the American territories. The resistance of the American juntas to submit to the Central Supreme Junta formed in Spain, radicalized positions and led to the armed struggle between realists and patriots. From 1810, various American territories began to declare themselves independent national states under republican regimes, forming large "liberating" armies of continental scope, among which were those commanded by the Argentine José de San Martín and the Venezuelan Simón Bolívar. The independence of the new states was consolidated in the 1820s, after the victory at the Battle of Ayacucho. After losing El Callao in January 1826, the only territories dominated by Spaniards in America were Cuba and Puerto Rico.
