The correct response is: France had lost most of its territory and power in North America.

The Treaty of Paris, signed in 1763, concluded the French and Indian War (the North American theater of the Seven Years' War) and resulted in significant territorial losses for France. As a result of the treaty, France relinquished its claims to Canada, and all territories east of the Mississippi River to the British. France ceded Louisiana west of the Mississippi River to Spain, effectively diminishing its influence and control in North America. This treaty marked a turning point in the balance of power on the continent, solidifying British dominance.
