Solution

b) The First Nations people did not have immunity

This was a key factor leading to the death of large numbers of First Nations people. When Europeans arrived in the Americas, they brought with them diseases such as smallpox and measles. The First Nations people had not been exposed to these diseases before and therefore did not have immunity to them. This led to widespread illness and death.
