Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

Mount St. Helens is a composite (stratovolcano) in the Cascade Range of the Pacific Northwest, located in southwestern Washington State, USA; USGS places it about 50 miles northeast of Portland, Oregon, and describes its prominence in the Cascades [1]. Encyclopaedia Britannica likewise identifies Mount Saint Helens as a volcanic peak in the Cascade Range in southwestern Washington, U.S., and highlights the catastrophic May 18, 1980 eruption that made it widely known [2]. Textbook material further notes that Mount St. Helens is an active volcano within the Cascade Volcanic Arc and is most notorious for the major 1980 Plinian eruption [3]. Therefore the correct country is the United States of America.
