In 1604 the first European settlement north of Florida was established by which two (2) French Explorers.

  1. Jacques Cartier & Jean Ribault

  2. Louis Jolliet & Jacques Marquette

  3. Pierre de Monts & Samuel de Champlain

  4. Nicolas Denys & Charles La Tour

The correct answer is: Pierre de Monts & Samuel de Champlain

This question asks about the first European settlement established north of Florida by two French explorers in 1604. The answer is not A because Jacques Cartier explored Canada in the 1530s, long before 1604. Similarly, B is incorrect because Louis Jolliet and Jacques Marquette did not establish a settlement in 1604. Option D is also wrong because Nicolas Denys and Charles La Tour were not French explorers, they were French colonists who settled in Acadia in the 1630s and 1640s. Option C, Pierre de Monts and Samuel de Champlain are the correct answer because they established the settlement of Acadia in present-day Nova Scotia in 1604.
