In which year was the International Olympic Committee formed?

Question

Accepted Answer

Step 1: Historical fact — The International Olympic Committee (IOC) was established by Pierre de Coubertin at a meeting in the Sorbonne, Paris, on 23 June $1894$.

Step 2: Clarify common confusion — The first modern Olympic Games took place in Athens in $1896$, but the IOC itself was formed earlier in $1894$.

Step 3: Eliminate wrong options — $1896$ (option a) is the year of the first Games, not the IOC's founding; $1892$ and $1898$ (options b and c) are not relevant. Therefore the correct choice is option (4) = $1894$ (d).
