  1. Quebec and Ontario.

  2. Labrador and the island of Newfoundland.

  3. British Columbia.

The correct answer is: Labrador and the island of Newfoundland.

While Quebec and Ontario are both located in Canada, they were not the first places that the Vikings settled in. Similarly, British Columbia and Nova Scotia were both not among the initial settlement areas. Therefore, the correct answer is B, Labrador and the island of Newfoundland.
