Answer 2

The correct answer is A) New France had a smaller population.

The statement that was true about the English and French colonies is "New France had a smaller population."

The French colonies in North America were known as New France. They were located in Newfoundland, St. Lawrence River, Acadia (what today is Nova Scotia), and some other that expanded to the Great Lakes region.

In 1534, Jaques Cartier, French explorer, navigated the waters of the Gulf of St. Lawrence and declared New France a territory for King Francis I. For many reasons -distance and cold weather- New France had a smaller population than English colonies such as Jamestown or the Massachusetts Bay colony.
