Answer 3

The main issue causing the French and Indian War in North America was the competing British and French empires. To arrive at this answer, you can eliminate the other options and focus on the historical context of the time. Georgia's northern border, Mary Musgrove's land claims, and ownership of land west of the Appalachian Mountains were not the primary causes of the conflict. It was the clash between the British and French empires over control of territory and resources in North America that sparked the French and Indian War.
