Answer 1

Option: b. tended to have better relations with the Indians.

Step-by-step explanation:

French had a better relationship with the Native Americans compare to the British in the New World. They maintain a peaceful relationship by signing treaties that helped french traders relying on Native Indians for survival and fur trade. French traders took furs pelts from Native Indians, and in return, gave European goods like metal goods (utensils), textiles, and weapons. French respected the Native Indians and married Native Women, which helped them at the beginning of a good relationship.
