Since what year have red and white been the national colors of Canada?

  1. 1911

  2. 1921

  3. 1931

  4. 1941

The correct answer is: 1921

Canada officially adopted red and white as its national colors in 1921, when it became a separate nation from the United Kingdom. This excludes options A, C, and D, as they are all after 1921 and the official adoption of the national colors. Option A is the closest answer with the year 1911, but this was the year that the Canadian Red Ensign flag (which includes red and white) was adopted as the national flag. However, it was not until 1921 when red and white were officially declared as the national colors of Canada. Therefore, option B is the most accurate answer.
