Final answer:
Roanoke, now known as the lost colony, is located off the coast of North Carolina.
Step-by-step explanation:
The correct answer is b) North Carolina. Roanoke, which is now called "the lost colony," is located off the coast of present-day North Carolina. In 1584, Sir Walter Raleigh attempted to establish a colony on Roanoke Island with a group of 117 people. However, when their governor, John White, returned to England in 1587, the entire colony had vanished, leaving only the word "Croatoan" carved into a fence as the only clue.
