Answer:

B. Washington, DC

Step-by-step explanation:

The "United Airlines Flight 93" was meant to follow its usual flight routine from New Jersey to California. However, it was hijacked by al-Qaeda terrorists. The principal instigators were Khalid Mohammed and Ramzi bin al-Shibh. Their original target was the U.S. Capitol Building located in Washington, D.C. However, passengers tried to fight against the hijackers in order to control the place once more. It resulted to the plane crashing in Pennsylvania and killing all passengers on-board (including the four hijackers).
