Independent study resource, not a BAMF website. Translations are study aids; the exam is in German.
Quick explanation
The state flag of Rhineland-Palatinate is black, red and gold.
Why is this correct?
The state flag is black, red and gold with the state coat of arms in the upper corner.
Background
Besides the federal flag, every federal state has its own flag. The state flag is black, red and gold with the state coat of arms in the upper corner. The state flag flies, for example, at the state parliament, ministries and on public buildings on holidays. Black, red and gold on its own is the federal flag; some states use the same colours with their state coat of arms. The coat of arms of Rhineland-Palatinate shows three fields: a red cross (Trier), a white wheel (Mainz) and a golden lion (Palatinate), with a crown above.
Why are the other answers wrong?
The other colour combinations do not belong to Rhineland-Palatinate: white and red is the flag of Berlin, Hamburg, Thuringia; black and yellow is not the flag of any state; green, white and red is the flag of North Rhine-Westphalia.
Memory tip
Rhineland-Palatinate: black, red and gold.
