Correct response: What is Maryland?
More information about Final Jeopardy:
Maryland was named such after King Charles I’s wife Queen Mary; its capital, Annapolis, was named after Anne, the wife of Lord Baltimore, who owned the colony of Maryland.
(Of course, Georgia was named after King George II. And South Carolina was named after King Charles. Remember, “has the name that matches that of a woman now” is much different from “named after someone who was a woman”.)
