Final answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The statement is true. The person mentioned in the question feared French domination and the strong political influence of the French-speaking population. They wanted the French speakers to be a minority in the assembly to ensure that they did not have excessive power.
Since the 1850s, the UC (presumably referring to Upper Canada) had a greater population, which would result in more seats in the Legislative Assembly.
Hence, Option A is correct.
