Independent study resource, not a BAMF website. Translations are study aids; the exam is in German.
Quick explanation
The state flag of Saarland 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 centre.
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 centre. 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 Saarland shows four fields with lions, a cross and eagles recalling the historic territories of the region.
Why are the other answers wrong?
The other colour combinations do not belong to Saarland: white and blue is the flag of Bavaria; black and yellow is not the flag of any state; green, white and red is the flag of North Rhine-Westphalia.
Memory tip
Saarland: black, red and gold.
