C is correct. "French and Indian War" is a term used (especially in Europe and Canada) for a that part of Seven Years´ War that took place in America. Seven years war was a conflict that took place in different parts of the world and can be viewed as a French-English conflict over the dominance in the world.

Explanation: Conflict finished in 1763 (Treaty of Paris). France cedes New France (Nouvelle France) territories east of river Mississipi. Louisiana is transferred from France to Spain (as a compensation of the loss - Spanish - of Florida to the English).

the best description of postwar writers might be progressive.

following the war, writers showed a tendency to work on artistic or social matters rather than political themes. while postwar literature may not have been the greatest period of english literature, the themes provided excellent critics a high number of novels. such examples include anthony burgess, anthony powell and frank kermode, all of which can be placed under the progressive view.

those who allied with france gained land and power.
