Answer (3)

The correct choice from the options is "C", "to gain independence from Canada."
Complete sentence is:
Many people who live in Quebec are part of a movement that seeks to gain independence from Canada.
This movement is based on the theory that as Quebec is a French speaking majority; they need to have a separate province like other English-speaking provinces. This is also a political movement called "The Quebec Sovereignty Movement".

The correct answer is (C) to gain independence from Canada.
The movement referred to in the question is the Quebec sovereignty movement, also known as Quebec nationalism or Quebec separatism. This political movement seeks to make Quebec a sovereign state, independent from Canada. The movement is primarily concerned with the preservation of Quebec's distinct culture, language (French), and laws, and it has been a significant force in Quebec politics for decades.
Option A) to have French made the official language is not entirely accurate because French is already the sole official language of Quebec, as per the Charter of the French Language (also known as Bill 101). Therefore, this option does not reflect the primary goal of the movement.
Option B) to change Canada's name to New France is not a recognized goal of any significant movement in Quebec.
Option D) to become a province of France is also incorrect. While Quebec has historical and cultural ties to France, the movement seeks independence as a sovereign nation, not to become a province of France.
Therefore, the most accurate and relevant option is C) to gain independence from Canada, which aligns with the goals of the Quebec sovereignty movement.

Many people in Quebec seek independence from Canada, as part of the Quebec Sovereignty Movement, which aims to preserve their French language and culture. This movement gained momentum in the late 20th century and has resulted in referendums on independence. Despite historical efforts for closure on this issue, there remains significant support for Quebec's sovereignty today.
