C) Colonists gained greater control over the individual governments of the colonies.

This statement did not occur as a result of the French and Indian War. After the war, the British government sought to consolidate control over the colonies and implemented policies that reduced the autonomy of colonial governments, leading to increased tensions between the colonies and Britain. The other options (A, B, and D) accurately reflect the outcomes and consequences of the war.
