However, since 1896 is not an option, the closest correct answer among the options provided is 1900, which is the year when wrestling was notably absent from the Games. The question and options should ideally include 1896 as the correct introduction year, but based on the options given, none are fully correct. The original answer stating 1900 is incorrect because wrestling was not introduced that year but rather omitted. The correct historical fact is that wrestling was introduced in 1896.
