Well without looking anything up, I believe I had heard the next Summer Games is in Athens, Greece. And if that's true the question confused me at first.
But I'll go with this. The host city is where the flame ends up because I thought I remember seeing that on TV before. So in this case, it would start with Greece (the origin of the Olympic Games), through all the other countries in alphabetic order, and comes back to Greece (which happens to be the host country this time).
So I'll go with A)
A. Greece is first, followed by every other country in alphabetical order with the host country last
Although I will say and warn you I'm not 100 percent sure.  |

| I'm not jumping in to give out answers to the trivia question and I'm not positive this is okay, but I will just confirm for you guys that the summer Olympics this year are in fact in Athens, Greece. I also know that in 2008 they will be held in Beijing. |

In every Olympic game opening ceremony precession, the same rules are used to define the order in which the countries are introduced.
Yes, this year the Olympics are in Greece, which makes this question unintentionally confusing since Greece is the host country.
So I guess, disregarding this year (which is a rare exception) what is the order?
