Cevap
The correct answer states that the shield in the center represents the six states and federation, while the seven-pointed star above the shield represents the states and territories.
The correct answer is accurate because the Commonwealth Coat of Arms represents the six states through the badges on the central shield and the federation as a whole. The gold Commonwealth Star above the shield specifically uses its seven points to include the six states and the territories collectively.
