To determine which timeline accurately represents the order of historical events in Canadian history, we need to consider the historical context and the sequence of the events mentioned:

1. **Treaty of Paris** (1763) - This treaty ended the Seven Years' War and ceded French territories in North America to Great Britain.
2. **Quebec City founded** (1608) - Samuel de Champlain established Quebec City.
3. **Capital of New France** - Quebec City was the capital of New France starting from its founding.
4. **Dominion of Canada established** (1867) - Canada was formed as a federation.
5. **Quebec Act** (1774) - This act allowed the French-speaking population to maintain their customs and religion.

Now, let's assess the timelines:

- **Timeline 1:** Treaty of Paris, Quebec City founded, capital of New France, Dominion of Canada established, Quebec Act.
- Incorrect order. Quebec City was founded before the Treaty of Paris.

- **Timeline 2:** Dominion of Canada established, Treaty of Paris, Quebec Act, Quebec City founded, capital of New France.
- Incorrect order. Quebec City was founded well before the establishment of the Dominion of Canada.

- **Timeline 3:** Quebec Act, Quebec City founded, capital of New France, Treaty of Paris, Dominion of Canada established.
- Incorrect order. The Quebec Act came after Quebec City was founded and the Treaty of Paris.

- **Timeline 4:** Quebec City founded, capital of New France, Treaty of Paris, Quebec Act, Dominion of Canada established.
- Correct order. Quebec City was founded first, followed by its designation as the capital of New France, then the Treaty of Paris, next the Quebec Act, and finally the establishment of the Dominion of Canada.

Based on this analysis, the correct answer is:

**D. Four (4)**
