What percentage of the Aboriginal population are Metis?

  1. 65%

  2. 30%

  3. 4%

  4. 50%

The correct answer is: 30%

The correct answer is B, 30%. This is because the term "Aboriginal" refers to a diverse group of Indigenous peoples in Canada, which includes First Nations, Inuit, and Metis. While the percentage of Metis people in the Aboriginal population may vary slightly by region, overall they make up approximately 30% of the total Aboriginal population. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they either overestimate or underestimate this percentage. Option A (65%) is too high as it would suggest that a majority of the Aboriginal population is made up of Metis, which is not the case. Option C (4%) is too low and would suggest that Metis people make up a very small portion of the Aboriginal population. Option D (50%) is also too high, as it would suggest that Metis people make up half of the entire Canadian population, which is not accurate.
