B
2 only
Correct Answer
C
Both 1 and 2

Neither 1 nor 2

Explanation

Statement 2 is correct because the Tokyo 2020 Games (32nd Summer Olympics) introduced Sport Climbing, Surfing, Skateboarding, and Karate as new sports, while Baseball/Softball returned to the Olympic program. Statement 1 is incorrect because "A New World" was the motto for the 2016 Rio Olympics, whereas the official motto for Tokyo 2020 was "United by Emotion." The core concept being tested is factual awareness of major international sporting events, specifically regarding their official branding and changes to the sports roster.
