Look at the map, which shows the territory that was part of the Mexican Cession. Which states are contained entirely within the Mexican Cession?

The Mexican Cession included the area that became California, Nevada, and Utah in its entirety. Arizona was only partly within the cession because its southern portion was acquired later in the Gadsden Purchase; Colorado was also only partly included. So the correct choice is California, Nevada, and Utah.
