Explanation:

Hernando de Soto's expedition was part of Spanish exploration. The goals of Spanish expeditions in the Americas often included making new discoveries, finding places to build settlements, finding goods to send back to Spain, and mining for gold/treasure. Making a new route to Asia was more associated with explorers like Columbus initially, and farming new crops in warmer climates wasn't a main goal of his expedition. So the correct options are the ones checked (to make new discoveries, to find places to build settlements, to find goods to send back to Spain, to mine for gold and other treasure) and we confirm the applicable ones.
