The correct answer is: Canada's flag for 100 years

The Canadian Red Ensign is recognized as Canada's flag for 100 years, as it was the official flag of Canada from 1868 to 1965. Option A is incorrect because Canada's modern flag is the maple leaf flag, which was adopted in 1965. Option C is incorrect because while the Canadian Red Ensign was at times used as a military flag, it was not solely a military flag. Option D is incorrect because the Canadian Red Ensign was not specific to any particular province, but rather represented the entire country of Canada.
