What is the name of the descendants of 8,500 French settlers from the 1600s and 1700s?

Maritimers
Quebecers
Acadians
Canadiens

The correct answer is: Quebecers

The term "Maritimers" refers specifically to people living in the Maritime provinces of Canada, which includes New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. This is incorrect because the descendants of the French settlers referenced in the question may also come from other provinces outside of this area. The term "Acadians" refers to a cultural and ethnic group that primarily resides in the Maritime provinces and has a shared French heritage. This is also incorrect because not all descendants of the 8,500 French settlers are necessarily Acadians - they may belong to different cultural and ethnic groups. The term "Canadiens" is a term that can refer to a variety of different things, including a hockey team, people from the province of Quebec, or English-speaking residents of Canada. This is incorrect because it is not a specific term for the descendants of the 8,500 French settlers. The correct answer is "Quebecers" because it specifically refers to people from the province of Quebec, which is where many of the 8,500 French settlers from the 1600s and 1700s settled. This term may also include people from other provinces or countries who have French heritage.
