AI explanation

'Citius, Altius, Fortius' is Latin for 'Faster, Higher, Stronger,' the traditional Olympic motto proposed by Pierre de Coubertin (founder of the modern Olympics) in 1894, symbolizing the athletic ideal of continual self-improvement. The other options mistranslate the motto with unrelated abstract concepts (friendship, truth, belief) that don't correspond to the actual Latin words 'citius' (faster), 'altius' (higher), and 'fortius' (stronger).
