The piece of evidence that de Gante (a Catholic Missionary who evangelized the Native Americans in Mexico) used in the excerpt to support his overall argument about the treatment of the people of Mexico is D. that the Native Americans did not have enough supplies to support their families.

Therefore, requiring them to pay so much tribute, which is not based on their income, to the Spanish authority would only encourage the depopulation of the area.

Thus, to discourage the loss of souls because of imposed draconian tributes, de Gante persuaded the Spanish king to reduce the requirement for the payment of tributes by the Native Americans.
