The correct answers to the request: Select the American settlements that profited from exporting furs, would be: 1. New England, 2. New Amsterdam and 3. Quebec.

Explanation:

The fur trade became a well known economic activity both in French Canada and in the North of the British colonies. In the case of Canada, the French implemented a rich trade between themselves and the Indian nations, with furs as the main product. When control, especially of Quebec, was taken by the British, this fur trade became a big export business, especially towards England, where the furs were highly appreciated and much desired. These three settlements, out of the four options, particularly benefited from the fur trade not only because their climate ensured that there was a surplus of animals from which these furs could be taken, but also, because of the rich number of rivers, and waterways, as well as the easy access to the Ocean, that allowed them to become pioneers and the foremost traders in these products.
