The correct answer is A. The Texas settlers wanted to overthrow Santa Anna to help restore the power of the Mexican states.

Explanation:

The Texas Revolution was an armed conflict between Mexico and the settlers of today's US state of Texas, then part of the Mexican state of Coahuila y Tejas. The war lasted from October 2, 1835 to April 21, 1836, but the naval war between Mexico and Texas lasted until the 1840s.  

The hostility between the Mexican government and the American settlers in Texas and many settlers of Mexican descent began in 1835 when Mexican President and General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna abolished the federal constitution of 1824 and proclaimed a new one. The new laws were unpopular in Mexico and led to many movements for independence and violence in several Mexican states. In Texas, the war began on October 2, 1835 with the Battle of Gonzales. The initial successes of the Texas Army ended in a crushing defeat in the same spot by several months. The war ended with the Battle of San Jancinta, in which General Sam Houston led the Texas army to victory. The result of the war was the creation of the Republic of Texas in 1836.
