Quick explanation
Brandenburg is number 4 on the map.
Why is this correct?

Background
Brandenburg lies in north-eastern Germany and completely surrounds the capital, Berlin. To the east it borders Poland. Germany has 16 federal states: 13 territorial states and the three city states of Berlin, Hamburg and Bremen. It helps to memorise the location of your own state and its neighbours on a map.
Why are the other answers wrong?
The other numbers show other federal states. Pay attention to the location: north or south, east or west, and which countries or seas Brandenburg borders.
