No, option C is not correct. The correct options that represent attempts on the part of the Mexican government to assert control over the Texas Territory are:
1. Built military posts: The Mexican government built military posts in the Texas Territory to establish a physical presence and maintain control over the region.
2. Forced American settlers to take a loyalty oath: The Mexican government required American settlers in Texas to take a loyalty oath to Mexico as a way to assert their authority and secure loyalty from the American settlers.
3. Prohibited slavery: In an attempt to exert control, the Mexican government passed laws that prohibited the practice of slavery in the Texas Territory, which was in contrast to the previous tolerance of slavery.
The options "ended further American immigration" and "enforced Spanish as the national language" are not correct as they do not directly represent attempts by the Mexican government to assert control over the Texas Territory.
