Answer 1

The action that was NOT a factor that led to Pontiac's Rebellion was the French support for Native American resistance. The correct option is d.

Step-by-step explanation:

The action not contributing to Pontiac's Rebellion was French support for Native American resistance. After the French and Indian War (1754-1763), the Treaty of Paris (1763) ceded French territories to Britain, altering dynamics. While Native Americans sought French assistance, the Treaty's terms restricted French involvement.

Pontiac's Rebellion (1763-1766) arose from Native American discontent with British policies, such as the Proclamation of 1763. It aimed to curb westward expansion and prevent settler encroachment. Despite lacking direct French backing, Pontiac's Rebellion intensified tensions, leading to changes in British Indian policies and shaping the trajectory toward the American Revolution.

The correct option is d.
