In what year did King Charles II grant the Hudson's Bay Company exclusive trading rights over the watershed draining into the bay?

1600
1610
1670
1701

The correct answer is: 1670

In 1600, the Hudson's Bay Company did not exist, so option A is incorrect. Option B is incorrect because in 1610, King James I of England granted a charter to the Governor and Company of Adventurers of England Trading into Hudson's Bay, but this charter did not include exclusive trading rights over the watershed draining into the Hudson's Bay. Option D is incorrect because King Charles II did not grant exclusive trading rights to the company until 1670. Therefore, the correct answer is C.
