What was the name of the country before it was called spain? a. latina b. portugal c. hispania d. español

The correct answer is - c. Hispania.

Hispania is just a latin term for the name Spain, though it has to be taken in notice that the Spanish people don't call the country Spain, but it is Espana in their own respective Spanish language, which is essentially the same, just that the English term is adjusted to the English language.
