The correct answer is a. Moctezuma. When Hernan Cortes and his conquistadors arrived in Tenochtitlan (now Mexico City), they were initially welcomed by Moctezuma, the emperor of the Aztecs.
The correct answer is a. Moctezuma.
To find the answer to this question, one can start by understanding the historical background. Hernan Cortes was a Spanish conquistador who led the expedition that resulted in the fall of the Aztec Empire in 1521. When Cortes and his conquistadors arrived in Tenochtitlan, the capital of the Aztec Empire, they were initially welcomed by Moctezuma, the emperor of the Aztecs at that time.
Knowing this information, we can determine that option a. Moctezuma is the correct answer. Options b. Tlacopan and d. Itzcoatl were not the individuals who welcomed Cortes. Option c. La Malinche, also known as Malintzin, was a Nahua woman who acted as an interpreter and advisor to Cortes during his conquest, but she did not welcome him initially. It was Moctezuma who received and welcomed Cortes upon their arrival in Tenochtitlan.
