1. In the 1600s

2. In the 1700s

3. In the 1800s

4. In the 1900s

The correct answer is: In the 1700s

The Maple Leaf was first adopted as a symbol by French Canadians in the 1700s as it became a symbol of the early French explorers in Canada. Option A (In the 1600s) is too early for the adoption of the Maple Leaf symbol. Option C (In the 1800s) and D (In the 1900s) are also incorrect as the Maple Leaf symbol had already been adopted by French Canadians in the 1700s.
