Quick explanation

Why is this correct?

Background
Territorial states are divided into rural districts and independent cities. Districts take on tasks that are too large for individual municipalities, such as district roads, waste disposal or the foreigners’ registration office. They are headed by a district administrator (Landrat). Altötting lies in Upper Bavaria near the Austrian border and is a well-known place of pilgrimage.
Why are the other answers wrong?
The other names belong to other federal states: Prignitz is in Brandenburg; Rhein-Sieg-Kreis is in North Rhine-Westphalia; Nordfriesland is in Schleswig-Holstein.
