Unlike french settlers in the 1600s, the dutch at first were not interested in
a. permanent settlements.
b. fur trading.
c. north america.

the best option for this question would be d. american indians.

lets take a look at the other options:

a. permanent settlements.   - true - looking for a direct passage through to the indies, dutch explorers founded the province of new amsterdam as early as 1614 claiming territories in modern usa and canada, showing their interest in permanent settlements.

b. fur trading.   - true -   the dutch west india company was interested in profit within the north american fur trade and established the colony of new netherlands.

c. north america. - they were looking for exploring north america's rivers and bays for a direct passage through to the indies in 1602.

d. american indians. - it was not part of the interest of dutch settlers. they were more interest in settlements, profit with fur trades and specially not deal with violent tribes.

the correct answer is ''the programs costs have risen dramatically in the recent past'' hope this !
