Explanation

Tokyo was selected as the host city for the 2020 Summer Olympics by the International Olympic Committee (IOC).
The games were postponed to 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic but retained the official name 'Tokyo 2020'.

Option B: Istanbul was the runner-up in the bidding process, losing to Tokyo in the final round of voting.
Option C: Rio de Janeiro hosted the previous Summer Olympic Games in 2016, not the 2020 games.
