Pontiac led a rebellion against the British following the French and Indian War because colonists began to move west, and American Indians lost land and power.

Explanation:

The Pontiac's War was the greatest resistance to the European settlement in North America; the coalition of tribes had taken eight forts, besieged others for months and produced 2,000 casualties among the English. Despite failing to expel them, the conflict forced the British authorities to recognize indigenous rights who still owned their ancestral lands. That principle was written in the royal proclamation and is the basis for the land claims of the indigenous peoples today.

a, c, & d are correct:

they wanted lands to settle the extra population.

they wanted new markets for english goods.

they wanted to avoid civil war.

nothing certain is known about what happened, but it seems that the country declined gradually, perhaps due to bad government, or, more likely, due to a series of bad harvests, which resulted in widespread and recurrent famine.
