What is the population of Yellowknife?

  1. 10,000

  2. 15,000

  3. 20,000

  4. 25,000

The correct answer is: 20,000

Yellowknife is the largest city and capital of the Canadian territory of Northwest Territories. With a population of approximately 20,000 people as of 2016, it is the only city in the territory. Option A is incorrect because it is too low; the city's population is significantly higher. Option B is also too low compared to the actual population of the city. Option D is incorrect because it is too high; Yellowknife does not have a population of 25,000 people. The correct answer, C, reflects the approximate population of Yellowknife.
