The correct response is:

The Albany Plan did not persuade colonists to unite, while the Iroquois Confederacy bound members together to solve problems.

The Albany Plan of Union, proposed by Benjamin Franklin in 1754, aimed to create a unified government for the thirteen American colonies but ultimately failed to gain the necessary support from the colonies. In contrast, the Iroquois Confederacy, a sophisticated political alliance among Native American tribes, was effective in binding its members together and facilitating cooperation among them in addressing mutual issues and challenges.
