Which of the following was a problem that limited the growth of new france?

french explorers were unable to find inland water routes in north america.

louis xiv did not support the growth of new france.

long, harsh canadian winters made farming difficult.

native americans taught the french how to harvest cod for export.

Long, harsh Canadian winters made farming difficult.

Explanation:

There were many obstacles that limited the growth of New France, but among the choices provided, that is clearly the best Long, harsh Canadian winters made farming difficult.  Canadian winters are extremely more difficult to live though than what they were used in France (in that era as well as today's).

Let's look at the other answer choices:

French explorers were unable to find inland water routes in North America. False, just think about Marquette.

Louis XIV did not support the growth of New France. False, he did support New France a lot by financing it generously.

Native Americans taught the French how to harvest cod for export. I'm pretty sure if's not true... but even if it was, that would be a reason for New France to grow, not a problem limiting its growth.

after a more than a decade and a half of combating al qaeda (aq) in afghanistan and pakistan,

the united states faces a diverse array of threats from al qaeda affiliates in the middle east and

africa. while senior al qaeda figures reportedly remain based in pakistan, the network includes

a number of affiliates across the middle east and africa including al qaeda in the arabian

peninsula (aqap), al qaeda in the islamic maghreb (aqim), and al shabaab. al qaeda also

retains a small but possibly growing presence in afghanistan. u.s. officials have stated that al

qaeda still maintains a foothold in syria through its ties to hay’at tahrir al sham (formerly

known as the nusra front), though the exact nature of that relationship may be evolving. this

report examines the threat posed by al qaeda affiliates in the middle east and africa as described

by u.s. officials and outside observers, as well as the u.s. approach to date in responding to these

threats. this was all i could find hope this : )
