B.  The American Indians considered Hernando de Soto to be a god; the Spanish did not want them to learn of his death and realize that the Spaniards were mortal

Explanation:

Hernando De Soto was known for his American voyages. In one of his expedition to find the land full of golds and riches, he met Native Americans in the present day west Florida where he landed.

Consequently, he moved around the Southern United States that comprises places like present day Georgia, South Carolina and back to Alabama to find these wealth.

He also subdued the natives and took many of their valuable belongings. He was able to achieved this by making himself appeared divine and heavenly.

Hence, when Hernando De Soto died, he was buried in the Mississippi River. This reason is because the American Indians considered Hernando de Soto to be a god; the Spanish did not want them to learn of his death and realize that the Spaniards were mortal
