Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
The embargo had the greatest impact on New England, as their economy relied heavily on trade with Europe, especially Great Britain. Without access to European markets, many New England merchants and shipbuilders were forced out of business. The embargo was less effective against France, which was able to find alternative sources for the goods it had previously imported from the United States.
