D、They prove that certain diseases were unknown in the pre-Columbian New World.

答案C

解析 推理判断题。本题问:从本文中可以推断出哪个有关西班牙贡品的表述?本文第 2段第2、3句写道:"处女地流行病在美国历史上是很重要的。许多证据说明了这一点。这些证据表明,许多危险的疾病,如:天花、麻疹、黄热病,毫无疑问还有几种其他疾病,在哥伦布发现新大陆以前是从未听说过的。这些突然出现的疾病所产生的影响可以在美国早期的编年史中看到。这些编年史报道了可怕的流行病和人口数量锐减。对西班牙贡品和许多其他资料的定量分析在许多情况下证实了上述情况"。可见,"西班牙贡品记录提供了有关美洲印第安人的定量和定性分析"是从上面的表述中推理出来的。
