What percentage of Canada's land mass is contained by the Northern Territories?

  1. 25%

  2. 33%

  3. 40%

  4. 50%

The correct answer is: 33%

“The Northern Territories” is commonly used to refer to the three territories of Nunavut, the Northwest Territories, and Yukon. Together, these three territories make up approximately 40 percent of Canada's land area, making option B the accurate choice. Option A is too low and does not accurately represent the vastness of these regions. Option C is closer, but still not quite high enough. Option D is exactly half and also not accurate.
