Explanation:

In 1750, France claimed a large amount of land in North - America mainly because it had claimed the tributaries of the Mississippi River, which gave it control over a vast territory. France did not win a major war with Spain for land in 1750 to account for this extent of land - claim. While relations with Native Americans and explorers were factors, the key was the territorial claims along the Mississippi and its tributaries.

Answer:

B. France had claimed the tributaries of the Mississippi River.
