'Ich liebe Rot' translates to 'I love red' (the color). 'Rot' means 'red', not 'rotten food'. The German word for rotten would be 'verfault' or 'faulig'. Therefore, the statement that it means 'I love Rotten food' is false.

The German word for 'city' is 'Stadt'. It is a feminine noun, so the definite article is 'die Stadt'. The plural form is 'Städte'. This is a basic German vocabulary word for urban settlements.

The correct German translation for 'I am sorry' is 'Tut mir leid'. Option C shows this phrase but with spelling errors - 'mier' should be 'mir' and 'Lied' should be 'leid'. The phrase literally means 'it does to me regret/ sorrow'. 'Ich bin Sorry' uses an English loanword and is less formal.
