Explanation:

The text states that Britain won the French and Indian War and then looked to the colonies to pay off the war debts. This implies that Britain had significant debts from the war. The other options are incorrect as there is no mention of the war greatly improving the British economy (the focus is on debts) and the text clearly shows the war had a financial impact (debts) so "no significant effect" is wrong.

Answer:

It put Britain in significant debt.
