1. Aboriginal, French, Dutch

2. Aboriginal, French, British

3. Indian, French, British

4. Inuit, Dutch, British

The correct answer is: Aboriginal, French, British

Aboriginal, French, British are the founding peoples of Canada for a number of reasons. Firstly, the Aboriginal peoples have inhabited the land for thousands of years and their cultures and traditions have a deep impact on the country. Secondly, French explorers and settlers arrived in Canada in the 16th century and established settlements, leading to the establishment of New France. Finally, the British also established colonies in Canada, ultimately gaining control of the territory after the Seven Years' War. These three groups are recognized as the founding peoples of Canada, making option B the correct answer. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not include all three groups that have played a significant role in the history and formation of Canada.
