D. Russian

Answer 1

Answer: A. British

Step-by-step explanation:

The British controlled much of the east coast of North America at that time and it was from them that the 13 original states of the United States were formed.

The British eventually took over all of Canada and after defeating the French in the French and Indian war, took much of France's territories. The U.S. took over the rest of French territory with the Louisiana Purchase under the Jefferson administration.
