The "selected" attribute is the correct attribute to define the default option in a drop-down list box. Option C correctly uses the "selected" attribute with a value of "selected" to show that "New Jersey" is the default option. Option A is incorrect because it uses the "checked" attribute, which is not used in drop-down lists. Option B is incorrect because the "checked" attribute is not used in the "option" element. Option D is incorrect because it uses the "checked" attribute instead of the correct "selected" attribute.
