Quick explanation
The state flag of Schleswig-Holstein is blue, white and red.
Why is this correct?
The state flag is blue, white and red.
Background
Besides the federal flag, every federal state has its own flag. The state flag is blue, white and red. The state flag flies, for example, at the state parliament, ministries and on public buildings on holidays. The coat of arms of Schleswig-Holstein shows two blue lions for Schleswig and a white nettle leaf on red for Holstein.
Why are the other answers wrong?
The other colour combinations do not belong to Schleswig-Holstein: white and blue is the flag of Bavaria; white and red is the flag of Berlin, Hamburg, Thuringia; green, white and red is the flag of North Rhine-Westphalia.
