d. throughout the entire war, britain relied on the iroquois tribes to help fight the french.

Explanation:

• Option A: In the Battle of Quebec during the French and Indian War, the British, led by Wolfe, managed to scale the cliffs to gain high ground (the Plains of Abraham) undetected and won the battle, which was a key part of their victory.
• Option B: After the war, Native Americans did not get a treaty guaranteeing most of their lands; in fact, British colonial expansion continued to encroach on their lands.
• Option C: France lost Canada and territory east of the Mississippi, but Florida was gained by Britain from Spain (not kept by France).
• Option D: Britain did not rely on the Iroquois throughout the entire war; the Iroquois' involvement was more complex and not constant support.

Answer:

A. The British won the battle for Quebec after gaining high ground without being discovered.
