Answer 1

The major competitors for land in North America during the 17th Century were Spain, England, and France. Persia was not a major competitor during this time.

Step-by-step explanation:

The major competitors for land in North America during the 17th Century were Spain, England, and France. However, Persia was not a major competitor for land in North America during this time.

Spain was the first country to initiate the era of Atlantic exploration and established a vast empire in the Americas. England and France, as Protestant nations, challenged Spain's dominance and began colonizing smaller islands in the Caribbean and establishing colonies on the mainland of North America.

Therefore, the correct answer is B) Persia.
