Option B

Explanation:

Pope Francis hailing from Argentina seems evident that a majority of South Americans are Catholic. This can be traced back to the arrival of Christopher Columbus, followed by the arrival of missionaries from Europe, such as the Jesuits and the Franciscans.

Although they established hospitals and schools, they eventually ended up colonizing them through the orders issued by the Spanish Empire and the Portuguese Empire. This also lead to people changing their religion to Catholicism, particularly among the populations of the Incas and the Aztecs.
