Solution

The correct option is B

Greece


While the ancient Games were performed from 776 BC to 393 AD in Olympia, Greece, it delayed 1503 years for the Olympics to return. In Athens, Greece, in 1896, the first modern Olympic Games were held. A Frenchman named Baron Pierre de Coubertin, who proposed the idea in 1894, was only the man responsible for its rebirth.
