Respuesta :

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

Don Francisco Manuel de Elguea was a wealthy Chihuahua merchant and he helped Carrasco in 1798 to mine copper from an outcrop of copper in Apache Indian which he could not do himself because of lack of  finances and time to mine. Hence, Don Francisco Manuel de Elguea  used his own money to mine the copper and also shipped them to 400 miles to Chihuahua City.

Hence, option C is correct
