Which is true regarding Moctezuma II?

Answer
A
He invited Bartolomé de las Casas to view his lands.
B
He was invited by Pizarro as a friend and brother.
C
He invited Cortés into the city of Tenochtitlán.
D
He was held hostage for his gold, then killed.

Explanation

Moctezuma II was the Aztec ruler when Hernán Cortés and his Spanish forces reached Tenochtitlán in 1519. Moctezuma received Cortés and allowed him into the city, so A, “He invited Cortés into the city of Tenochtitlán,” is the true statement. Pizarro encountered the Inca ruler Atahualpa, not Moctezuma.
