The correct option is C. New France. New France was the name given to the area colonized by France in North America during the period begun with the exploration of the Gulf of Saint Lawrence by Jacques Cartier in 1534 and ended with the cession of New France to Great Britain and Spain in 1763 under the Treaty of Paris (1763).

The territory of New France, also known as the French North American Empire or Royal New France, consisted of five colonies: (1) Canada, the most developed colony and divided into the districts of Québec, Trois-Rivières, and Montréal; (2) Hudson's Bay; (3) Acadie; (4) Plaisance, and (5) Louisiane.
