D. South America
Explanation:
1. The Treaty of Tordesillas was signed in 1494 between Spain and Portugal to divide the newly discovered lands outside Europe.
2. The treaty drew a line from north to south through the Atlantic Ocean, 370 leagues west of the Cape Verde Islands.
3. The lands to the east of the line were assigned to Portugal, while the lands to the west belonged to Spain.
4. As a result, South America was predominantly allocated to Spain, leading to Spanish colonization in that region.
Therefore, the correct answer is D. South America.
