To determine which of the options was not a reason for Spanish colonization in the Americas, we'll need to examine each option individually.
A. Expanding the Spanish empire: This is a valid reason for Spanish colonization, as one of the goals was to increase the Spanish empire's territories.
B. Religious divisions: This is also a valid reason. The Spanish colonizers aimed to spread Christianity and convert the native populations to Catholicism.
C. Profiting in the fur trade: This was not a primary reason for the Spanish colonization of the Americas. While Europeans did engage in the fur trade with indigenous peoples, it was not a primary motive for Spanish colonization.
D. Wealth: This is, in fact, a reason for Spanish colonization. They hoped to acquire wealth through the extraction of resources such as gold, silver, and other valuable commodities.
Therefore, the correct answer is C. Profiting in the fur trade.
