The correct answer is:
A. Most colonists became British or Spanish subjects.
The Treaty of Paris (1763) effectively ended the French and Indian War (the North American theater of the Seven Years' War), resulting in France ceding most of its territories in North America to Great Britain. As a result, many French colonists found themselves under British control or, in some regions, Spanish control (especially in territory ceded to Spain as compensation).
