Answer: B. American Indians gained access to manufactured goods.
Step-by-step explanation:
The French were the earliest traders in North America and unlike settlers, French traders came to take advantage of the immense trading potential in a continent with an abundance of beaver, deer and other types of skins that could be used for clothing.
By exchanging manufactured goods like blankets, cooking utensils and guns for fur and skin with the Native Indians, the Natives were able to have access to manufactured goods and the French stood a chance a make a healthy profit back in Europe.
