Recognise two fields and two different animals.
The bull is represented by its head alone; its horns and crown are useful visible features. The griffin is a complete winged mythical creature. Look for the bull’s head beside the red griffin, rather than two identical animals.
Mecklenburg-Vorpommern is one federal state. The two animals in the lesser coat of arms refer to its constituent regions. Identify the design first, then read the number beneath it. This also works if the pictures appear in a different order.
The other three answers
The other designs differ clearly in their animals and structure.
1
Image 1 shows a red-and-white striped lion on blue with pale stars. It lacks the combination of a bull’s head and griffin.
2
Image 2 shows a red eagle on a pale background. An eagle alone is not the divided lesser coat of arms asked for here.
4
Image 4 shows a white horse on red. Neither a bull’s head nor a griffin is present.
There is also a greater state coat of arms.
The greater coat of arms has four quarters containing two bull’s heads, a griffin and a Brandenburg eagle. That does not contradict the question: the supplied catalogue image asks for the lesser, divided version.
