Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. 1872
Puerto Princesa was founded by the Spanish as a settlement on 4 March 1872. Later that year, in May 1872, its port became the center of Spanish naval operations in the area, as the bay met all the navy's requirements. As the settlement was founded in March 1872, the earlier option 1867 cannot be the date.
