None of the above statements are true of a key signature with flats. A key signature with flats indicates that certain notes in the scale are lowered by a half step. The flats in the key signature represent the specific notes that are lowered, and the order of the flats in the key signature is determined by the circle of fifths. The number of flats in the key signature does not determine the key itself.
