Answer:
The correct answer is C: France.
Explanation:
Samuel de Champlain (1567-1635) was a French navigator, colonist, known as the founder of the city of Quebec and consolidator of the French colonies in the New World.
In 1608 he founded the French settlement, which became the city of Quebec.
In 1609 he led an expedition along the Richelieu River and explored a lake in today's Vermont and New York. He named the lake after himself, after being the first European who described it and put it on maps.
Champlain was the first European who explored and described the Great Lakes and published maps of his travels with his notes on what he learned from the natives and the French who lived with the natives.
In 1620, King Louis XIII ordered him to return to Quebec and to govern the new land. He was de facto governor of New France since he could not obtain the title officially, because of his humble origin.
