Final Answer : B, Explanation :  The Treaty of Paris of 1763 stipulated that France would cede its major North American possessions to Great Britain. This included French Canada, the territory east of the Mississippi River, and the Spanish territory of Florida. France would also give up its control over the North American fur trade. However, France would keep Louisiana but would be forced to give it to Spain in secret as a compensation for Spain's loss in the war. The treaty did not affect Spain's land holdings in North America as it was not a party to the treaty.
