Explanation:

Mexico abolished slavery in 1829, which threatened the economic system of white settlers in Texas who relied on enslaved labor for cotton and other cash crops. This policy led enslaving settlers in Texas to push for independence to preserve their ability to exploit enslaved people's labor. The other options are factually incorrect: Mexico did not allow slavery for Texans, Texans did not seek to abolish slavery, and Mexico did not force enslavers to pay indentured servants as a replacement for enslaved labor.

Answer:

A. Mexico banned enslavement, leading enslavers to worry that they wouldn't be able to use the labor of enslaved people.
