Answer:

d. Spain’s prestige was damaged and naval supremacy was lost.

Explanation:

    The Invincible Armada is a term used to designate the Spanish maritime-military fleet that was organized to attack England and to overthrow its ruler, Queen Elizabeth I (1533-1603), of the Tudor House, under King Felipe II (1527- 98) of the Habsburg House.

    The Navy left Spain in May 1588, with 130 ships and 27,000 men. It reached the English Channel in late July and fought some battles. On August 8 the English obtained a decisive victory. They had fewer ships, but had longer-range cannons. This prevented the Spanish from approaching to attack the English vessels.

    In any case, Philip II's ambition has dealt a severe blow to his prestige, while England has seen it grow in importance as a maritime power, opening up previously sealed seas and being able to attack in the future with different prospects for success, the Spanish and Portuguese overseas domains.
