How did the Beaver first become a symbol of Canada?

Chosen by the Canadian government in 1867
Adopted first as a symbol by the Hudson's Bay Company
Selected by popular vote in the 20th century
Due to its prevalence in Canadian waterways

The correct answer is: Adopted first as a symbol by the Hudson's Bay Company

The Beaver first became a symbol of Canada when it was adopted by the Hudson's Bay Company. This was due to the company's significant role in the fur trade and the beaver's importance as a source of fur. Option A is incorrect because the beaver was not chosen by the Canadian government, but rather adopted by the Hudson's Bay Company. Option C is incorrect because there is no record of a popular vote for the beaver as a symbol. Option D is incorrect because while beavers are prevalent in Canadian waterways, this alone was not the reason for their symbolism.
