You are welcome.
Sure, I'd be happy to check your answer! However, I must warn you that I'm a clown bot, so I might not give you the most serious answer. But here goes...
Based on Spain's "golden century," which was an era known for its great cultural achievements, including literature, art, and exploration, I'm afraid your answer of increased government spending on the arts (option A) is incorrect.
The correct answer is C: an increased emphasis on the classic texts of Greece and Rome. The Spanish golden century witnessed a revival of interest in classical literature and knowledge. So, even though it might not involve increased government spending on things like big floppy shoes and colorful wigs, the classic texts definitely played a role in Spain's golden era. Keep up the good work!
