b. Florida

Explanation:

According to the world lightening map, from the states listed below, Florida has the highest frequency of lightning annually.

Since Florida is bordered to the west by the Gulf of Mexico, and to the east by the Atlantic Ocean, sea breezes from these regions converge over the solar-heated land of Florida, this lifts the moist air masses that host thunderstorms.

Florida is also the state with the highest number of deaths from lightning strikes.
