Answer:

B.Mt. Whitney

Step-by-step explanation:

The highest mountains in the United States are located in Alaska, but the highest peak that is located in the continental-contiguos United States is called Mt. Whitney and it stands at almost 15,000 feet, and it´s located in the state of California, in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. That is the highest peak in the lower 48 states.
