Which term describes people who traveled between fur merchants and fur trade posts?

• A. Voyageur
• B. Habitants
• C. Seigneurs
• D. Gouverneur

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is understanding who did the traveling work in the fur trade system. Voyageurs were the canoe people who moved goods and furs between fur merchants and fur trade posts, covering long distances along rivers and lakes to keep the network of posts supplied. They were the logistical link, transporting trade items from merchants to posts and bringing back fur, which is why this term fits the description.

Habitants were the farmers or settlers living on seigneurial land, not travelers between trading posts. Seigneurs were the landowners who granted land to settlers under the seigneurial system. Gouverneur was the governor who ran colonial administration. These roles are about farming, landholding, and governance, not the travel-and-trade courier role described in the question.
