Which of the following factors most distinguishes quebec from the other provinces of canada

a) industrialization

b) climate

c) language

d) trade

The correct answer is C. Language is the factor that distinguishes Quebec from the other provinces of Canada.

Explanation:

The province of Quebec, located in the eastern part of Canada, is the only one of the ten Canadian provinces in which the French language is the majority language of its population. In fact, the French language is the mother tongue of 80% of Quebec's population. This is a clear difference from the other provinces of the country, where English is the most widely spoken language.

The predominance of the French language in the province of Quebec has its reason for being in the fact that Quebec was for centuries a French colony, until the French and Indian War, when Great Britain conquered those territories.
