a. territory on the mississippi river and in florida
b. ransom from the families of british prisoners
c. new colonies on the african continent
d. ships captured from the british navy

Explanation:

Spain, as an ally of the American colonies during the Revolutionary War, had territorial ambitions. After the war, through the Treaty of Paris (1783), Spain regained East and West Florida from Britain and also obtained territorial concessions along the Mississippi River. There is no historical record of Spain gaining ransom from British prisoners' families (Option B), new African colonies (Option C), or significant numbers of British navy ships (Option D) as a direct result of its involvement in the American Revolutionary War.

Answer:

A. Territory on the Mississippi River and in Florida
