Correct answer: C

The Paralympics are held in the same year as the Olympics and in the same host city.
They follow the Olympic Games by a few weeks, using the same venues.
The host city commits to both when it is awarded the Games.

Worth noting

Same year, same city, a few weeks later. That single arrangement answers most questions about the relationship between the two.
