Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
British colonists tended to view the Indians as outside their collective colonial identity, distinct from and often in conflict with their own societal norms and values. Unlike the Spanish and French colonists who often intermarried with the native population and incorporated them into colonial society and culture, the British maintained a greater divide between themselves and the Indians.
