Answer:

The correct answer is B. The colonial area in which there can be found the most influence of French culture is Louisiana.

Step-by-step explanation:

Louisiana was an administrative region of the French-North American colony of New France, which lasted from 1682 to 1763, and again for a short period between 1800 and 1803.

French Louisiana included the Mississippi River Basin, south to the Gulf of Mexico, extending north to the Great Lakes region, east from the Appalachian Mountains, and west to the Rocky Mountains.

"Louisiana" was named to commemorate the French King Louis XIV by the French explorer Robert de La Salle.

Today's state of Louisiana is named after it, but its territory is greatly reduced, only a small part of the equivalent of former French Louisiana.
