Which insignia describes Air Force O-10?

In the Air Force, general-officer ranks are shown by stars, with the number of stars signaling the grade. Brigadier General is one star, Major General is two, Lieutenant General is three, and General is four. For the highest general officer pay grade, O-10, the insignia is four silver stars. That’s why the correct depiction is four silver stars. The other options mix in the wrong symbol or the wrong number of stars (for example, bars represent a Captain, not a general officer), and five gold stars aren’t used for current Air Force insignia.
