Correct answer choice is :


B) The city was destroyed by a great flood.

Explanation:

Since Mexico City was established on an island in the center of a large but superficial lake system, flooding became a severe issue during the colonial period. Spaniards stripped hillsides of their trees from the early triumph era on, so that mud and sand made the lake system even shallower, increasing the periodic flooding.
