A
a colony in the northeastern US that focused on the harvesting of timber
B
a trading post in Quebec, Canada, that thrived on the trading of furs
C
a trading post in Montreal, Canada, that specialized in the selling of gold
D
a colony in the southeastern US that excelled at growing tobacco cash crops

Explanation

French settlements in North America were often trading posts focused on the fur trade, especially in New France around Quebec. So a Quebec trading post thriving on fur trading best describes a French settlement. The tobacco-growing colony in the Southeast is more closely associated with English settlement.
