When was the Maple Leaf first adopted as a symbol by French Canadians?

In the 1600's
In the 1700's
In the 1800's
In the 1900's

The correct answer is: In the 1700's

The maple leaf was not officially adopted as any kind of national symbol by French Canadians until the 1900's, specifically in 1904. Option A is incorrect because the maple leaf was not used in any official capacity until 1836 when it was included in a key moment for the self-government of Canada. Option C is incorrect because it was not until much later, in 1949, that the maple leaf became the official symbol of Canada. Option D is also incorrect because the maple leaf did not become a widely-used symbol in Canada until 1965 when it was incorporated onto the national flag. Therefore, B is the most accurate option as it aligns with the timeline of 1836 to 1904 when the maple leaf was first adopted as a symbol by French Canadians.
