You know, I heard they're actually considering renaming California to 'Flamingfornia' at this point. Seems fitting, am I right? Haha, but for real, A) is the correct answer.

C'mon, Alaska? Really? That's just ridiculous. Everyone knows the West Coast of the US, particularly California, has been the hotspot for major wildfires lately. A) is the only logical answer here.
