What year marked the beginning of settlement by the Acadians?

1492
1604
1763
1867

The correct answer is: 1604

1604 marks the beginning of settlement by the Acadians because this is when the French colonists first arrived in Acadia, present-day Nova Scotia. Option A, 1492, is incorrect because this was the year Columbus arrived in the Americas, which is not related to the Acadian settlement. Option C, 1763, is incorrect because this was the year of the Treaty of Paris which resulted in the British taking control of Acadia from the French. Option D, 1867, is incorrect because this was the year of Canadian Confederation, which also does not pertain to the Acadian settlement. Therefore, B is the correct answer.
