Consider the task of arranging red, white, and blue flags on an n-foot flagpole with no gaps, where red flags are 4- feet high, white flags are 2-feet high, and blue flags are 1-foot high. Which of the following recurrence relations can be used to determine the number distinct ways x(n) of arranging red, white, and blue flags on the n-foot flagpole for n=1,2,3, ... if the appropriate initial conditions are known? O x(n) = x(n-3) + x(n-2) + x(n-1), n = 5,6,7, .. O x(n) = 4x(n-4) + 2x(n-2) + x(n-1), n = 5,6,7, . O x(n) = x(n-4) + x(n-2) + x(n-1), n = 5,6,7, . O x(n+4) = x(n) + x(n-1) + x(n-2), n = 1,2,3, ..
