The statement that best describes how the French differed from the English and Spanish when interacting with Native Americans is:
They often got along with the Native Americans.
The French generally engaged in trade relationships with Native Americans, particularly in the fur trade, and often established alliances with different tribes. They were more likely to treat Native Americans as partners compared to the more violent and territorial approaches taken by the English and Spanish. While there were conflicts and negative interactions, the French approach tended to emphasize cooperation and mutual benefit.
