Answer 13

I'd probably say (B) and (C) are both true, all the others are false. It's true that the Inca, and pretty much all Native Americans in North and South America, had no immunities to the diseases that the Europeans brought over. The others don't hold up. While true that Pizarro captured the emperor and demanded a ransom, he didn't set him free -- he executed him. The Inca met the Spanish with 7,000 soldiers and the emperor didn't exactly trust them. He hoped to lure them into a trap (and didn't regard them so much as gods as some others have) but didn't realize just how advanced the weapons, armor, and tactics of the Spanish were compared to his forces. There was just no way for him to know.
The Inca were utterly outmatched by Pizarro's tiny force thanks mostly to technology and advanced tactics using horse and cannon.
