When did the Arctic Islands become part of the Northwest Territories of Canada?

1867
1870
1880
1898

The correct answer is: 1880

The other three options are incorrect because A) 1867 is the year that Canada officially became a country, so the Arctic Islands could not have become part of the Northwest Territories in this year. B) 1870 is the year that the Northwest Territories were created, so the Arctic Islands would not have been included at this time. D) 1898 was the year that the Yukon Territory was created and the Northwest Territories was divided into districts, so the Arctic Islands would not have been part of the Northwest Territories in this year. Therefore, the correct answer is C: 1880, which is when the Arctic Islands were officially added to the Northwest Territories through the transfer of the Arctic Territories from the Hudson's Bay Company to the Canadian government.
