What two forts did the NWMP found?

Fort Calgary and Fort MacLeod
Fort York and Fort Vancouver
Fort Edmonton and Fort Victoria
Fort Nelson and Fort Saskatoon

The correct answer is: Fort Calgary and Fort MacLeod

The other options are incorrect because they do not correspond with the locations of the two forts founded by the North West Mounted Police (NWMP). Fort Calgary and Fort MacLeod were both established in present-day Alberta by the NWMP in 1875. Fort York and Fort Vancouver were located in present-day Ontario and British Columbia, respectively, and were not founded by the NWMP. Similarly, Fort Edmonton and Fort Victoria were established in present-day Alberta and British Columbia, respectively, but by different groups and at different times than the NWMP. Finally, Fort Nelson and Fort Saskatoon were both founded in present-day Saskatchewan, but again, not by the NWMP. Therefore, A is the only correct answer as it accurately identifies the two forts founded by the NWMP.
