Name one U.S. territory.

Guam is a U.S. territory, which means it is a region under the jurisdiction of the United States but does not have the full privileges of a state. Territories are often areas that are unincorporated and governed by federal laws, and they have their own local self-government while remaining subject to the authority of Congress. Other options, such as Oregon, Alaska, and New Mexico, are all states, which have a different status than territories. Oregon and New Mexico are located on the continental United States, while Alaska, although not contiguous, is still a state rather than a territory. Understanding the distinction between states and territories helps clarify the role and governance of different regions in the United States.
