Ireland

About the flag

Correct: Ireland. The Irish tricolor symbolizes unity: green for the Gaelic/Catholic tradition, orange for the Protestant community (followers of William of Orange), and white for peace between them. First introduced by Thomas Francis Meagher in 1848 and famously flown during the 1916 Easter Rising, it was later enshrined in the 1937 Constitution as the national flag. Memory tip: Think “Green = Emerald Isle; Orange = William of Orange; White = peace in between.” Don’t confuse it with Côte d’Ivoire, which has the same colors reversed (orange–white–green). The other options use very different designs: Spain has red–yellow–red with a coat of arms, while Denmark and Norway feature Nordic crosses.
