Explanation:

To answer this, we recall George Washington's foreign policy during the war between France and England (part of the French Revolutionary Wars). Washington issued the Proclamation of Neutrality in 1793, declaring the United States would remain neutral in the conflict. The first option is incorrect as he didn't openly support France. The third option is incorrect as there was no attack on Spanish Florida in response to this war. The fourth option is incorrect as he didn't support Britain. So the correct choice is the one about declaring neutrality.

Answer:

B. He declared that the United States would be neutral
