Answer:

B. To make it appear that they would be easy to defeat.

Explanation:

The Arawak were some of the first native people that Columbus met in America. In his account, Columbus describes the Arawak as weak and frightened. This is most likely because Columbus did not want them to seem powerful or strong. Instead, he wanted to make it appear that they would be easy to defeat.
