In what century was the maple leaf adopted as a symbol by the French Canadians?

  1. 1600s

  2. 1700s

  3. 1800s

  4. 1900s

The correct answer is: 1700s

The maple leaf was officially adopted as a symbol by the French Canadians in the 1700s, specifically in 1705 during the reign of King Louis XIV of France. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they are either too early or too late for when the symbol was officially recognized. While maple leaves were used as symbols in some form by the French and Indigenous peoples in earlier centuries, it wasn't until the 1700s that it became a recognized emblem of French Canadian identity. Therefore, B is the most accurate choice for the century in which the maple leaf was officially adopted as a symbol.
