  2. July 1, 1867

  3. July 4, 1776

  4. July 1, 1871

The correct answer is: July 1, 1867

Canada was founded on July 1, 1867 as a result of the British North America Act. Option A is incorrect because that is the date when the United States declared independence, not Canada. Option C is also incorrect for the same reason. Option D is incorrect as it is after the actual date of Canada's founding.
