The correct answer is D. French settlers were on friendly terms with Native Americans and they relied on them to provide furs.

The French were actually friendly with the Natives, so much that even sometimes they married the locals. They relied on Native hunters to provide them with furs or help them with hunting and in exchange they would give them things like guns or products that were made in Europe or they would give them clothes.
