The correct answer is A. 1896.
The Olympic Games were an ancient Greek festival, held every fourth year for several hundred years, from the 8th century BC through the 4th century AD. The original Greek games were staged in Olympia, Greece, from 776 BC through 393 AD, when they were abolished by Roman emperor Theodosius I as part of the campaign to impose Christianity as the state religion of Rome.
The modern Olympic Games were first held in 1896 in Athens, Greece, and have been held every four years since then, except during World War I and World War II. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) is the governing body of the Olympic Movement, and is responsible for selecting the host city for each Olympic Games.
The IOC has a number of rules and regulations governing the Olympic Games, including the Olympic Charter, which sets forth the principles and values of the Olympic Movement. The IOC also determines the sports that are included in the Olympic Games, and the number of athletes that each country can send to the Games.
The Olympic Games are the world’s largest and most prestigious sporting event, and are watched by billions of people around the world. The Games have a significant impact on the host city, both economically and culturally.
