Option: The city was primarily used as a ceremonial site and ornate capital for the Aztec, with the few permanent residents being nobles and religious leaders.

Explanation:

Tenochtitlan was the capital city of the Aztec Empire. It founded in 1325 and served as the centre until it vanquished by Spanish in 1520 under Harnan Cortes. It was built on a marshy island in Lake Texcoco with palaces, pyramids, and storehouses. The Aztecs built their city where the water worked as natural protection from enemies. Its population estimated with 400,000 people with fewer nobles and religious leaders. Hernan Cortes founded Mexico City on the ruins of Tenochtitlan and claimed it for Spain.  

The correct answer is A. All answer choices

Explanation:

Imperialization occurs as one country controls or rules over other countries or territories. This political phenomenon was common from the 16th century to the 20th century because during this historical period industrialized western European countries such as England or France took control over other territories.

This process occurred through the use of arms or violence as in the case of the invasion and colonization in South America, but also imperialization was possible by exploiting natural resources and controlling its trade. For example, in Africa countries such as France, Belgium, Italy, England, etc. controlled the exploitation and trade of natural sources such as tea, cocoa, cotton, and diamonds. Thus, Industrialized Western Europe was able to imperialize countries by using arms, controlling trade, and capitalizing natural resources.
