What animal was adopted centuries ago as a symbol of the Hudson's Bay Company?

  1. The beaver

  2. The moose

  3. The bear

  4. The wolf

The correct answer is: The beaver

Beavers were adopted as a symbol by the Hudson's Bay Company because of their strong work ethic and ability to build dams and lodges. This symbol reflected the company's values of hard work, productivity, and resourcefulness. Moose, bears, and wolves do not possess the same qualities and therefore were not chosen as the symbol for the company.
