Answer:

B. Spanish

Step-by-step explanation:

The first ever European explorer was Juan Ponce De Leon! He was of Spanish descent - therefore, the Spanish were also the first to claim territory in Florida.

Though under the 1783 Treaty of Paris - the Spanish gave up Florida to the British in turn for Cuba.
