In what year did King Charles II of England grant the Hudson's Bay Company exclusive trading rights over the watershed draining into Hudson Bay?

1670
1608
1534
1759

The correct answer is: 1670

In 1670, King Charles II of England granted the Hudson's Bay Company exclusive trading rights over the watershed draining into Hudson Bay. This was a significant event because it granted the company a monopoly over the lucrative fur trade in the region. Options B and C are incorrect because those years precede the grant, and option D is incorrect because it comes after the grant was given. So, the correct response is A.
