Explanation:

During the 15th - 18th centuries, as European colonies in the Americas grew wealthier through trade and expansion, the Europeans living there gained more political influence. European monarchies did not end due to the rise of private merchants in this period. Military alliances among European forces were not permanent in the context of conquering American natives. And the wealth of European monarchs did not cause other countries to adopt monarchy.

Answer:

C. Europeans living in the Americas gained political power as their colonies became wealthier.
