Red and white have been the national colours of Canada since which year?

1867
1901
1921
1965

The correct answer is: 1921

Canada officially adopted red and white as its national colours in 1921 via the Arms of Canada Act. Option A, 1867, is the year of confederation and marks the formation of Canada, but does not signify the adoption of the national colours. Option B, 1901, is the year when Edward VII granted the royal arms to Canada, which included the red and white colors, but again, this does not mark the official adoption of these colors as the national colours. Option D, 1965, is the year when the current maple leaf flag with red and white colors was first raised, but once again, this does not mark the official adoption of the colors as the national colors. Therefore, the correct answer is C, 1921, as this is the year when the colors were officially recognized and adopted as the national colors of Canada.
