Where in a spiral galaxy would you be most likely to find an o-type star? (remember that o-type stars are the hottest of the main-sequence stars.)?

O-type star can be found in Spiral Arms.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a spiral galaxy, the O-type stars are typically found in active star formation areas. These areas can be the arms of the spiral galaxies or a pair of galaxies that are undergoing collision or merger. O-type stars are the stars that are hot and blue star of O shape.

These stars have very high temperature. These stars are rare to find and end their lives very quickly. Because of their high mass, the O-type stars are easy to spot and find in a galaxy.

The answer would be in a spiral arm. The spiral arms are then region of the stars being extended from the spiral's center and the barred spiral galaxies. The region which is a long and thin one looks like a spiral and so the name spiral galaxy is given.
