Explanation

French settlers often lived near American Indian communities and relied on them as partners in the fur trade. English settlers were more likely to establish permanent farms and settlements, which led to conflicts and the displacement of American Indians from their land. So the best answer is A: the French lived alongside them, while the English forced them off their land.
