The correct answer is: A) French settlers incorporated American Indian beliefs into a new form of Christianity. Spanish settlers did not.

Explanation:

Starting in 1534, French settlers established New France in North America. From the beginning, unlike the other colonial powers, French settlers promoted a pacific coexistence between natives and colonists, embracing Indian habits in order to gain their support. Indians also adopted french traditions and they ultimately formed the Franco-Indian Alliance, which lasted from 1754 to 1763.
