Explanation:

José de San Martín was a key figure in South American independence. He helped liberate Argentina, Chile, and Peru from Spanish rule. Option A is about the Haitian Revolution (led by Toussaint Louverture etc.). Option B: Brazil's independence was related to Pedro I, not San Martín, and Brazil was under Portuguese, not French/Spanish control. Option D: The northern South American revolutions (Venezuela, Colombia etc.) were led by Simón Bolívar. So the correct option is C.

Answer:

C. He helped liberate Argentina, Chile, and Peru from Spanish rule.
