In 1608 Champlain built a fortress in what is now called...

  1. Montreal

  2. Toronto

  3. Halifax

  4. Quebec City

The correct answer is: Quebec City

Champlain built a fortress in what is now called Quebec City in 1608. This city was established as the colony's administrative center due to its strategic location on the St. Lawrence River and its role in the fur trade. Montreal, Toronto, and Halifax were all established as settlements at a later time and were not considered significant enough for Champlain to build a fortress.
