Answer:

The Correct Answer is C

Explanation:

• In 1821, after discovering that Guatemala had proclaimed its independence from Spain, Costa Rica began developing its style of self-government.
• During this procedure, Agustin de Iturbide who is the self-proclaimed ruler of Mexico sent a message requesting immediate occupation to his empire.
