Correct answer is d. it made it clear to other European countries that they needed to expand their own colonies and exploration.

Explanation:

According to this treaty Spain and Portugal decided to divide their domain in colonies, which established them as the greatest colonial forces. Their spreading of power affected other European powers, such as England, France and Netherlands. Those countries decided to create colonies on their own, and started establishing them especially in North America.

That is why option D is the only correct answer.

this question makes no sense dude

the committees of correspondence were the american colonies’ means for maintaining communication lines in the years before the revolutionary war. in 1764, boston formed the earliest committee of correspondence to encourage opposition to britain’s stiffening of customs enforcement and prohibition of american paper money. the following year, new york formed a similar committee to keep the other colonies notified of its actions in resisting the stamp act. in 1773, the virginia house of burgesses proposed that each colonial legislature appoint a committee for intercolonial correspondence. the exchanges that followed built solidarity during the turbulent times and bring about the formation of the first continental congress in 1774.
