All believed they were superior to Native Americans
One major similarity that Spanish, Dutch, French, and English settlements had in common relative to their relations with Native Americans is that all believed they were superior to Native Americans.
To find the answer, we can analyze the question and eliminate options that are incorrect.
Option 1 states that all the settlements relied on Native Americans for fur trading. While fur trading was an important aspect of the relationship between the Native Americans and European settlements, it might not have been a major similarity across all Spanish, Dutch, French, and English settlements.
Option 2 states that all the settlements respected the Native Americans' way of life and religious beliefs. While some settlements may have had more respectful relationships with Native Americans than others, it is unlikely that all four groups had the same level of respect for the Native Americans across all their settlements.
Option 3 states that all the settlements established missions where Native Americans could live and work. While missions were indeed established by some European settlements, it is unlikely that all four groups established missions across all their settlements.
Finally, option 4 states that all the settlements believed they were superior to Native Americans. This option is plausible, as European settlers often held a sense of cultural and technological superiority over the Native Americans. However, this belief might vary between settlements and individuals, so we cannot be certain that it was a major similarity across all settlements.
Based on the analysis of the options, the best answer is:
All believed they were superior to Native Americans.
