Correct answer: 50 U.S. states.

Each star on the U.S. flag represents one state. The current 50‑star flag was adopted in 1960 after Hawaii became the 50th state (admitted in 1959). The other choices are incorrect — there were 13 original colonies (not 50), and the number of signers or “founding fathers” is different.
