I believe that it is A. "The Act of Union was passed by the British Parliament in July 1840. It was proclaimed on 10 February 1841 in Montreal. It created the Province of Canada by uniting the colonies of Canada West (formerly Upper Canada) and Canada East (formerly Lower Canada) into one government." Does that sound correct?

what is this answer? i think it is d.
D is the correct answer I did the quiz
The correct answer is not option B (the Quebec Act), but option C (the British North America Act).
To determine the correct answer, you need to understand the history of Canada's independence.
Canada's journey toward independence began with the Confederation of Canada in 1867. This event brought together four British colonies (Canada East, Canada West, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia) into a single entity known as the Dominion of Canada. However, it is important to note that Canada was not fully independent at this point.
To achieve complete autonomy, Canada needed legal recognition from the British Parliament. This recognition came with the passing of the British North America Act in 1867. This act granted Canada the power to govern itself internally, including the ability to enact laws and manage its own affairs. While Canada was still a part of the British Empire, the British North America Act laid the foundation for Canada's independence.
The Act of Union, mentioned in option A, is related to the history of Canada, but it actually refers to the union of Upper Canada (Canada West) and Lower Canada (Canada East) under a single government in 1841. This event was a precursor to the Confederation of Canada in 1867 but did not directly grant Canada its independence.
The Statute of Westminster, mentioned in option D, plays a significant role in Canada's journey to independence, but it was not the specific act that granted Canada independence. The Statute of Westminster was passed by the British Parliament in 1931 and recognized the full legislative independence of self-governing dominions like Canada. It essentially confirmed the legal autonomy that Canada had gradually gained over the years.
Therefore, the correct answer is option C, the British North America Act, as it provided Canada with the necessary legal framework to govern itself and marked a crucial step toward independence.
A is correct.
Definitely not D!
