  1. Pierre de Monts and Samuel de Champlain

  2. Louis Jolliet and Jacques Marquette

  3. John Smith

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

Pierre de Monts and Samuel de Champlain established the first European settlement north of Florida in 1604. Option B, Louis Jolliet and Jacques Marquette, explored the Mississippi River in the late 1600s and did not establish a settlement. Option C, John Smith, was an English explorer and colonist who established the Jamestown settlement in 1607, but this was south of Florida. Option D, Roald Amundsen, was a Norwegian explorer who is known for being the first person to reach the South Pole in 1911, nearly 300 years after the establishment of the first European settlement north of Florida.
