Voyageurs and coureurs des bois were French and English fur-traders who formed strong alliances with First Nations. The other options, such as pioneers and settlers, merchants and tradesmen, and explorers and colonists, do not accurately describe the specific groups of individuals who traded fur with First Nations. These terms are too broad and do not specifically refer to the fur trade relationships between Europeans and Indigenous peoples. Additionally, the terms pioneers, settlers, merchants, and tradesmen were more commonly used for individuals involved in other industries, such as agriculture, business, and skilled trades. Explorers and colonists, on the other hand, focused more on discovering and claiming new lands for their respective nation, rather than forming alliances through the fur trade. Therefore, A is the most accurate and specific answer to this question.
