Which chateaux are listed as the First Growths of the Medoc?

Explanation:
This item tests your knowledge of the 1855 Bordeaux classification and which châteaux were designated First Growths on the Left Bank (the Médoc). In that classification, the First Growths on the Left Bank are Lafite-Rothschild, Latour, Margaux, and Mouton-Rothschild. Haut-Brion, though a Premier Grand Cru Classé, is from Graves, not Médoc, so it is not included among the Médoc First Growths. Therefore the choice that lists exactly those four Medoc First Growths is the correct one. The other options either include Haut-Brion (which isn’t Medoc) or omit one of the four Medoc First Growths or duplicate Latour.
