  1. The Scottish-born director of the Canadian Pacific Railway

  2. The first French-Canadian prime minister

  3. Led two resistance movements against the Canadian government

  4. Drove the last spike for the Canadian Pacific Railway

The correct answer is: The first French-Canadian prime minister

Sir Wilfrid Laurier was known for being the first French-Canadian prime minister of Canada from 1896 to 1911. This is what distinguishes him from the other options. Option A is incorrect because Sir Wilfrid Laurier was not born in Scotland, and he was not a director of the Canadian Pacific Railway. Option C is incorrect because he did not lead any resistance movements against the Canadian government. Option D is incorrect because he did not drive the last spike for the Canadian Pacific Railway.
