Answer:

The version of the sentence that correcly capitalizes the common nouns and proper nouns is A. Many retired Canadians escape winter by going south to Florida every year.

Step-by-step explanation:

Version A is the correct answer because it complies with the following capitalization rules:

  • Demonyms -Canadians- are capitalized;
  • Seasons -winter- do not require capitalization because they are common nouns;
  • Directional terms -south- used as a description or direction do not require capitalization (they are capitalized only when they are part of a name);
  • Proper names of people, cities, countries, etc. -Florida- are capitalized.
