The answer is C, I took the test and this is it.

Option C is the route which is showing the path traveled by explorer Hernando de Soto.

Hernando de Soto was a Spanish explorer and conquistador who was engaged in expeditions in Nicaragua and the Yucatan Peninsula, and played a major role in Pizarro's conquest of the Inca Empire in Peru. He became famous for leading the first Spanish and European expedition deep into the territory of the United States through Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and most likely Arkansas.

the correct answer option is: weapons.

explanation:

tensions rose as the two opposing superpowers competed for 'weapons'.

referring to the cold war (1945-1991), the two superpowers, usa and ussr, experienced a phase of struggle and conflict with each other. these two superpowers considered each other as a threat to their survival and thus opted for policies to strengthen their positions.

the two superpowers never went to war with each other directly but competed for weapons to preserve their positions.
