The correct answer is - C. horses.

The French knew very well what the Native Americans would be interested in, and what can play in their favor, so in order to maximize their own profit, they were selling horses to the Native Americans. The Native Americans were fascinated by the horse, and how much things it was making easier to do, sot hey were not thinking twice to buy one or more. Now apart from making profit from the sale of horses, the French fur traders benefited from the sale of the horses because the Native Americans became much more efficient in hunting with them, thus they were providing much more fur by using the horses.
