a) the french were less interested in occupying territories.
b) the french and the english both settled in north america.
c) fur trading was the main source of money for the english.
d) only the french were interested in converting the natives.

The correct answer is D. The difference between the English and the French in regards to exploration and colonization is that only the French were interested in converting the natives.

Explanation:

Both English and French settled in North America in search of establishing commercial and military posts that would subsequently allow them to annex territories to their respective colonial empires and control the natural resources of the region, including fur.

The main difference between the two types of colonization lies in religion: France was at that time a Catholic country, therefore, colonization was also aimed at fulfill the evangelizing role demanded by the Pope of the Catholic Church, that is, to convert the Native in faithful to Christ. On the other hand, the English colonizers did not have that motivation, since the English Crown did not respond to the will of the Pope.
