Respuesta :

Answer:

B

Explanation:

The correct option is (B):

"From 1566 until 1576, Santa Elena, now an excavation site in South Carolina, was the capital of Spanish Florida; however, it had become a settlement by 1735."

This option maintains the past tense consistency in the second clause, aligning with the past tense "was" in the preceding clause.
