Who are the leaders that built a French Empire that reached from Hudson Bay to the Gulf of Mexico to accommodate the fur-trade economy.

  1. Jacques Cartier, Samuel de Champlain, Marc Lescarbot

  2. Jean Talon, Bishop Laval, Count Frontenac

  3. Louis Jolliet, Jacques Marquette, Pierre Radisson

  4. Henri de Tonti, Sieur de la Salle, Nicolas Perrot

The correct answer is: Jean Talon, Bishop Laval, Count Frontenac

Jean Talon, Bishop Laval, and Count Frontenac were important leaders in the French colonization of North America, particularly in the development of the fur trade economy. Jacques Cartier, Samuel de Champlain, and Marc Lescarbot were important figures in early French exploration, but they did not play significant roles in the fur trade. Louis Jolliet and Jacques Marquette were explorers who were involved in the early development of the fur trade, but they did not build the French Empire in North America. Henri de Tonti, Sieur de la Salle, and Nicolas Perrot were also involved in the fur trade, but they did not have as much influence on the building of the French Empire as Jean Talon, Bishop Laval, and Count Frontenac.
