Answer: C. prevent the British from expanding and taking more land

Explanation: The French and Indian War involved the British and the French, along with their respective Native Americans allies. The majority of Native Americans, however, sided with the French. This was mainly to prevent the British from expanding and taking more land. The British were attempting to extend their settlements further west onto more Native American land. The British were the victors, as Canada and land east of the Mississippi River was ceded to them by the French.
