Answer: B. The French and Indian War was part of the Seven Years' War.

Explanation:

These names are actually two names of the same conflict. The spark of the war was French expansion into the Ohio River Valley and conflicting claims of the British colonies. The war went on for 7 years. It ended with the signing of the Treaty of Paris of 1763. France ceded Canada to the British but kept its Western Indies sugar islands. Britain also got Florida from Spain, which got Louisiana from the French.
