The first tree at Rockefeller Center was indeed an unadorned tree bought by construction workers in 1931, decorated with handmade garlands, marking the beginning of a tradition. The given statement "The first tree at Rockefeller Center was an unadorned tree from construction workers" is true.

The correct answer to the given question is option 1.

The statement that the first tree at Rockefeller Center was an unadorned tree from construction workers is indeed true. In 1931, during the Great Depression, workers at the Rockefeller Center construction site pooled their money together to buy a Christmas tree.

It was a 20-foot tall balsam fir that they decorated with handmade garlands made by their families. This act was a symbol of hope and community during hard times.

The Rockefeller Center has since carried on the tradition, with the tree now becoming a world-famous symbol of the holiday season.
