Why is this answer correct?

The zones were arranged as follows: British in the north-west, Soviet in the east, American in the south and French in the south-west. The USA therefore held zone 3 and France zone 4. All other combinations mix up this allocation.

Zone 1 British, 2 Soviet, 3 American, 4 French.
