How was colonization similar for the French and Spanish?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Both the French and Spanish sought to convert the indigenous population to Christianity. The French sent Jesuit missionaries to New France (Canada), while the Spanish built missions and sent friars to convert Native Americans in present-day Mexico, California, and the Southwestern United States.

Answer: C 
 Both the French and Spanish had strict control over their colonies. The French government controlled trade, limited immigration, and imposed strict rules on settlers in New France. The Spanish also had strict control over their colonies and ruled through a system of encomienda, where Spanish colonizers were granted control over indigenous peoples in exchange for Christianizing them and extracting labor and tribute.

Note: A and D are incorrect as the French and Spanish colonizers sent both families and single men to settle in the colonies, and while fur trading was prominent in both colonies, it was not the only focus of their colonization efforts.
