The strStates and strCapitals arrays are parallel arrays. If Illinois is stored in the second element in the strStates array, where is its capital (Springfield) stored?

strCapitals(1)
strCapitals(2)
strCapitals(0)
strCapitals(3)

The correct answer is B.

Parallel arrays are arrays that have the same number of elements and are indexed in the same way. In this case, the strStates array has 5 elements, and the strCapitals array also has 5 elements. Since Illinois is stored in the second element in the strStates array, its capital (Springfield) is stored in the second element in the strCapitals array, which is strCapitals(2).

Option A is incorrect because Springfield is not the first element in the strCapitals array.

Option C is incorrect because Springfield is not the third element in the strCapitals array.

Option D is incorrect because Springfield is not the zeroth element in the strCapitals array.
