D. To illustrate his successes and advantageous discoveries to secure financial support for future voyages

Explanation:

Christopher Columbus was sponsored by the Spanish government to conduct an expedition toward the Atlantic ocean. The purpose of this expedition is to find trade routes that Christian Merchants can use to conduct their trades.

He came across a route to American continent in  1492. He wrote his letter for the Spanish government to tell a story about his successful discoveries.

In the letter, he mentioned that he stumbled upon a land with great resources and wealth. He wanted the Spanish government to seize this and reward him for his effort to support his future voyages.

i'm not sure what you are asking, but it also served as a debtors colony, was ran by the trustees for 20 years until becoming a royal colony, and people had restrictions such as no slaves, and only 50 acres of land per person/ hope this !
