Final answer:

In total, 99 Canadians have been awarded the Victoria Cross, the highest military honor for valor in the face of the enemy.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking about the number of Canadians who have been awarded the Victoria Cross (V.C.), which is the highest military honor available to Canadians, recognizing acts of valor in the face of the enemy. During its history, a total of 99 Canadians have been bestowed with this prestigious award. Although Colonel Elizabeth Smellie had a distinguished career and was highly decorated, receiving medals like the Royal Red Cross Class 2 and the Victory Medal MID, she was not a recipient of the Victoria Cross. The correct answer to the student's question is (A) 99.
