D) The Mississippi River served as the boundary between the territories.

After the French and Indian War, the French preferred to keep the territory of Guadeloupe and gave up all right to lands east of the Mississippi River to Great Britain in the 1763 Treaty of Paris Agreement.

Answer:

C) The Appalachian Mountains served as most of the boundary.

Step-by-step explanation:

AS you can see in the map, the European Countries divided the territories in North America, between the three of them, and mostly by order of arrival or settlements, the border between the French and English territories in this map is given by the Appalachian Mountains which are a mountain system located North East in the UNited States and go accross 1,500 miles in the North east territories.
