Answer 1

The correct option is C Both England and France wanted territories in North America.

Britain established 13 colonies along the Atlantic coast of the American continent. These were called the New English colonies. The French too had their eyes on the American continent. The competition for resources and territories grew into a full-scale conflict with the British, called the Seven Years War.
