What incentive did Spanish explorers have for settling the Caribbean islands?

a)spices and silks
b)faster trade routes
c)land for plantations***
d)abundant sources of furs

Yes. C.

first of all, "Ms.Sharlet", if you worked at connections then you would be using proper grammar. second, she wasn't cheating, she was asking people to check her answer.

At first, the Spanish and other explorers were looking for faster trade routes to the orient -- faster than sailing around the southernmost part of Africa and then on to India or China or wherever they wanted to go.

But the question asks what incentive they had for SETTLING the Caribbean Islands. That's different from motives of discovery!

thanks!
