How to create a tracking branch and check it out?

I'm stuck on this quiz questions in the Remote Branches section of Git Branches and Merging Course:

Fill in the blank to complete the command to create a tracking branch for the origin/wolf branch and check it out.

$ git branch -a
* master
  remotes/origin/HEAD -> origin/master
  remotes/origin/red-riding-hood
  remotes/origin/wolf
  remotes/origin/master
$ git checkout __

What is the command after "git checkout"?
