The correct answer is C. Atlanta.

The 1996 Summer Olympics, officially known as the Games of the XXVI Olympiad, were an international multi-sport event held from July 19 to August 4, 1996, in Atlanta, Georgia, United States. It was the second time that the United States had hosted the Summer Olympics, after the 1904 Summer Olympics in St. Louis.

The 1996 Games were the largest in history, with 10,318 athletes from 197 countries competing in 26 sports and 300 events. The United States topped the medal table with 101 medals, including 44 gold medals. China finished second with 65 medals, including 32 gold medals. Russia finished third with 63 medals, including 26 gold medals.

The 1996 Games were also notable for the Centennial Olympic Park bombing, which killed two people and injured 111 others. The bombing occurred on July 27, 1996, just hours after the opening ceremony. The perpetrator, Eric Rudolph, was not captured until 2003.

Despite the bombing, the 1996 Summer Olympics were a success. The Games were well-organized and the athletes put on a great show. The 1996 Games were a major boost for Atlanta and helped to put the city on the map.
