When were the Arctic Islands added to the NW Territories of Canada?

1867
1873
1880
1898

The correct answer is: 1880

The options A, B, and D are incorrect because those years mark the establishment of other provinces or territories in Canada, such as the provinces of Ontario and Manitoba and the territory of Yukon respectively. These dates are not relevant to when the Arctic Islands became part of the Northwest Territories. Option C is the correct answer and marks the year when the Arctic Islands were transferred from the Hudson's Bay Company to the NW Territories of Canada. This transfer was done through the Imperial Order in Council in 1880, making it the correct answer to the question.
