When did Newfoundland and Labrador join Canada?

1. 1871

2. 1880

3. 1905

4. 1949

The correct answer is: 1949

Newfoundland and Labrador officially became a province of Canada on March 31, 1949. This makes option D, 1949, the correct answer. Option A, 1871, is incorrect as this was the year that British Columbia joined Canada, not Newfoundland and Labrador. Option B, 1880, is also incorrect as this was when the Northwest Territories were transferred from the Hudson's Bay Company to Canada, not Newfoundland and Labrador. Option C, 1905, is incorrect as this was when Saskatchewan and Alberta became provinces, not Newfoundland and Labrador. Therefore, the only correct option is D, 1949.
