Correct answer choice is :

C) The French did not send explorers to the New World for many years.

Explanation:

French explorer Jacques Cartier was born on December 31, 1491, in Saint-Malo, Brittany, France, and was sent by King Francis I to the New World in quest of riches and a new way to Asia in 1534. His research of the St. Lawrence River enabled France to lay right to lands that would become Canada. Cartier needed to find a Northwest Passage to India and the Spice Islands, though his motivation was distinctive.
