What is the capital city of British Columbia?

  1. Victoria

  2. Vancouver

  3. Kelowna

  4. Nanaimo

The correct answer is: Victoria

Victoria is the capital city of British Columbia because it was designated as the capital in 1868 by Queen Victoria and has remained the capital ever since. Vancouver, Kelowna, and Nanaimo are all major cities in British Columbia, but they are not the capital. Vancouver is often mistakenly thought to be the capital because it is the largest city in British Columbia, but the actual capital is Victoria. Therefore, the correct answer is A.
