Who was Canada's first Prime Minister?

Sir Wilfrid Laurier
Sir John Alexander MacDonald

Sir George-Étienne Cartier

The correct answer is: Sir John Alexander MacDonald

Option A, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, was the first French-Canadian Prime Minister, but not the first overall. Option C, Donald Smith, was a Canadian businessman and politician, but he was not the first Prime Minister. Option D, Sir George-Étienne Cartier, was a important figure in Canadian politics, but he also was not the first Prime Minister.
