How many Canadians have won the Victoria Cross since 1854?

  1. 50

  2. 96

  3. 120

  4. 150

The correct answer is: 96

Since 1854, there have been a total of 96 Canadian individuals who have been awarded the Victoria Cross. This high military honor is awarded for acts of valor and bravery during wartime. Option A, 50, is incorrect because it is a lower number than the actual amount. Option C, 120, and D, 150, are both higher numbers and thus, incorrect. It is important to note that the Victoria Cross is not only awarded to Canadians, but also to individuals from other Commonwealth countries. Therefore, the number may not be solely representative of Canadian recipients.
