Answer:

The correct answer is C. Francisco Pizarro didn't search for gold and glory in North America.

Explanation:

Francisco Pizarro was a Spanish explorer and conquistador. He is best known as the man responsible for the destruction of the Inca Empire.

The Spaniards arrived under Pizarro into the Inca territories in 1526. It was an illusion that it was a rich country, and Pizarro traveled to Spain for the right to conquer it. He returned in 1532, when the empire was at the center of a civil war between Huayna Capac's two sons, Huascar and Atahualpa. It was also weakened by smallpox, which had spread from central America. Pizarro had only 180 men, but he succeeded in conquering the empire. Atahualpa was executed in August 1533.  

On 18 January 1535, Pizarro founded the city of Ciudad de los Reyes, which soon came to be called Lima.
