Answer
A
To recognize American independence
B
To give up claims to lands north of the colonies, in Canada
C
To give up claims to lands west of the colonies, to the Mississippi River

Explanation

The Treaty of Paris of 1783 ended the American Revolutionary War. Britain recognized the United States as an independent nation and gave up its claims to territory west of the original colonies, extending to the Mississippi River. Britain did not give up its claims to Canada, so choice B is incorrect.
