Answer: d. Portugal
Step-by-step explanation:
Portugal was the only nation out the four options that did not colonize the new world as much as the others. Spain colonized most of South America, Mexico and Florida.
The British colonized the original 13 colonies as well as a huge part of Canada and following a war with France, took over most of Frances eastern colonies in Northern America. The French for their part colonized a huge chunk of North America which they lost in war to the British and in sales (Louisiana purchase) to the United States.
Portugal colonized Brazil and not much else making them a minor colonizer of the New World.
