c. sea ports
d. slave market

The correct answer is B. France first colonized Canada because of the fur trade.

Explanation:

The fur trade was the main reason for the European colonization of Canada, the origin of the struggle for hegemony between French and British, and the source of conflicts and discord among aboriginal groups.

To take control of those distant lands, first European personnel had to be brought. In the summer of 1604, a group of French pioneers founded a temporary settlement on Île Ste-Croix (an islet on the river, on the current US border in Maine) and the following spring they moved to Port Royal (now Annapolis Royal) in Nova Scotia. These sites, difficult to defend, were not good for controlling the fur trade with the interior. Going up the San Lorenzo River, the future settlers finally found a site that their leader, Samuel de Champlain, considered an ideal terrain: the place where today is the city of Quebec. In 1608 "New France" became a reality.
