Answer:
Option: B.The Spanish crown took initially little interest in the administration of colonial affairs.

In the 16th century, the Spanish colonies like Mexico City, Lima, and Vera Cruz were producing goods for their consumption rather than depending on trading with Spain, which took a long time to reach the colonies. The Spanish crown wanted the colonies to remain as colonies and depended upon their motherland. So, it would be wrong to say that the Spanish crown little interest in the colonies.
