None are grammatical although the second and third are close to grammatical.

What country is this the flag of?

Of what country is this the flag?

are grammatical. Neither, however, would be idiomatic in speech or informal writing.

Which country's flag is this?

is probably typical US speech

Alongside Jeff's suggestions in their answer, although I don't think 'Which country's flag is this?' is typical US speech, you might consider using the following sentence:

Which country does this flag belong to?

It isn't from any of your options provided, but is widely used.
