Olympic Rings

The Olympic Rings were created by Baron Pierre de Coubertin in 1913 and first displayed on the Olympic Flag in 1920. The Olympic symbol of five interlocked rings represents the five original continents:

Africa
America (North & South)
Asia
Australia
Europe

and the meeting of the athletes from throughout the world at the Olympic Games. The five colors of the rings blue, black and red (top) and yellow and green (bottom) were chosen since one of these colors can be found in the flag of each competing nation.
Choice (3) is correct.
