The correct answer is Option (2) → Arizona
The Grand Canyon is located in the state of Arizona.
While it was carved out by the Colorado River, only a small portion of the canyon system extends into other states; the iconic, spectacular gorge itself is primarily situated within north-central Arizona. It is preserved as a UNESCO World Heritage site and is managed largely as part of the Grand Canyon National Park.
