Explanation

The correct answer is A because only the first pair is correctly matched. 1. Cannes is a famous city in France known for its international film festival. This match is correct. 2. Davos is located in Switzerland, not Denmark. It is famous for hosting the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum. 3. Roland Garros is a tennis stadium complex located in Paris, France, not the Netherlands. It is the home of the French Open. Since pairs 2 and 3 are incorrect, only pair 1 is right.
