How did the Beaver first become a symbol of Canada?

Adopted as a symbol of the Canadian Government
Adopted first as a symbol of the Hudson's Bay Company
Introduced by the French settlers
Created by Aboriginal tribes

The correct answer is: Adopted first as a symbol of the Hudson's Bay Company

The beaver became a symbol of Canada because the Hudson's Bay Company, which was a British fur trading company, used the beaver as its logo and the beaver became closely associated with the company's dominance in the fur trade industry in Canada. The other options are incorrect as they do not provide a historical context or reason for how the beaver became a symbol. While the Canadian government may have officially adopted the beaver as a national symbol, it was not the original reason for its symbolism. Similarly, the French settlers and Aboriginal tribes may have also used the beaver in their cultures, but they were not the first to do so in relation to Canada.
