What are the three colors featured in horizontal bands on the national flag of Oman alongside the red vertical hoist band?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. White, red, and green
- Step 1: The flag of the Sultanate of Oman consists of a red vertical hoist band containing the national emblem in the upper canton, with three horizontal bands:
- Step 2: White at the top (symbolizing peace and prosperity), red in the center (representing battles and national struggle), and green at the bottom (representing the fertile green land and Jebel Akhdar).
Answer
White, red, and green.
Why not the others: 'Black, white, and green' are the Pan-Arab colors used by Jordan, UAE, and Palestine; 'Red, white, and black' are the colors of Yemen and Egypt; 'Yellow, blue, and white' is not an Arab flag palette.
