Answer 1

The correct option is A. American cowboys have their roots in spanish riding styles. This idea doesn't forget the keyword "American cowboy" nor the intention of the following sentences all related to "the roots of cowboys"

The option B is possible but the text focuses on explaining the origin of this cultural icon.

The option C just defines what Doma Vaquera means as a method for cattle herding

Although the option D presents important information about the origin of mexican riding style, it forgets the general concept of "american cowboy"
