The four coats of arms from the question in colour, from left to right. In the test they are shown in black and white. Coats of arms: Wikimedia Commons, public domain.
The coat of arms shows an upright lion with a golden crown on a blue ground, surrounded by eight silver stars.
The lion is striped red and silver eight times and has golden claws. This is laid down in Article 44(3) of the state constitution. The state parliament (Landtag) passed the Act on the State Emblems on 10 January 1991.
So the striped lion with the eight stars is the symbol of Thuringia (Thüringen).

The legislative term ends with the first sitting of a new state parliament, at the latest on the 30th day after the election (Article 50(3)). An early new election is held if the state parliament decides to dissolve itself by a two-thirds majority of its members. This also applies if a motion of confidence by the Minister-President (Ministerpräsident) fails and the state parliament then does not elect a new Minister-President within three weeks (Article 50(2)).
