The correct provision in the Treaty of Paris 1763 is:

A. All French land in North America was to be given to England.

The treaty ended the French and Indian War and significantly reshaped the territorial boundaries in North America, leading to England gaining a large portion of French territories. However, it's important to note that while England did gain significant territories, France retained some lands, particularly in the west, which went to Spain.

Bot, are you sure that is the correct answer?

I apologize for the confusion in my previous response. The correct answer based on the terms of the Treaty of Paris 1763 would actually include components of options D and C. Specifically:

  • D. All French lands east of the Mississippi and in Canada were to be given to England.
  • France ceded Canada and all territory east of the Mississippi River to England.

Additionally, Spain received Louisiana and all French territory west of the Mississippi River as compensation for their loss of Florida to England.

So, for clarity, the most accurate choice regarding the terms of the Treaty of Paris 1763 would be:

D. All French lands east of the Mississippi and in Canada were to be given to England.
