The right answer is:
c. a large church in Constantinople.
Explanation:

The French and Indian War was fought in the 1750s and 1760s between Britain and France, along with their colonies in North America. Each side also had Native American allies. The British were victorious in this war.
We know that A is wrong, because the British colonists were the ones who started the American Revolution a few years later, so we know they weren't driven out of North America by the French.
We also know that C is wrong, since the French definitely <em>lost</em> the French and Indian War, though the Treaty of Paris was indeed the document that was signed to end the war.
And D is not exactly correct, mostly because it's too vague. Many Native American tribes helped the British fight the French, and were therefore partly responsible for the driving out the French, but the question doesn't state any Native Americans in particular. Remember that other Native Americans fought on the side of the French.
B is the best answer, even though it's not 100% correct. For one, French <em>people</em> were not driven from North America (thousands and thousands of French-speaking people still live in eastern Canada!), though the French <em>government</em> was <em>mostly</em> (though not entirely) driven out of North America. The French were allowed to keep two small islands off the coast of the Canadian island of Newfoundland. These islands, called Saint Pierre and Miquelon, actually still belong to France, and if you were to go there you wouldn't see the Canadian flag, but the French flag, and you would have to use Euros instead of Canadian dollars.
