What is the gold star that sits above the Commonwealth Coat Of Arms represent?

The commonwealth star.
Australia's national flower.
Australia's national gemstone.
Australia's national colours.

The correct answer is: The commonwealth star.

The gold star above the Commonwealth Coat of Arms represents the commonwealth star, also known as the Federation Star. The Commonwealth is made up of six states and two territories, which are each represented by one of the points on the star. This symbolizes the unity and cooperation among these regions. Option B, the national flower, and option C, the national gemstone, do not accurately represent the purpose of the star. Option D, the national colours, may be a common misconception as the star is often depicted in yellow or gold, but it primarily represents the federation of states rather than the national colours of Australia.
