  1. 1870

  2. 1871

  3. 1873

  4. 1880

The correct answer is: 1873

Prince Edward Island officially joined Canada on July 1st, 1873, making it the seventh province to join Confederation. Prior to this, in 1864, the Island had rejected the idea of joining Canada, but economic struggles and the potential for more representation in government led them to reconsider. The other options are incorrect as they were not the year that Prince Edward Island officially joined Canada. A is incorrect as it is the year that Manitoba joined, B is incorrect as it is the year that British Columbia joined, and D is incorrect as it is the year that Manitoba and the Northwest Territories became a part of Canada.
