According to the Missouri Compromise of 1820, slavery was permitted in the state of Missouri and the region to the west and south of Missouri, which included parts of what would become states like Arkansas. The compromise allowed for slavery in Missouri but prohibited it in the northern part of the Louisiana Purchase, which included regions that would later become states like Iowa and Montana.

Therefore, out of the options provided, **Arkansas** would be the correct answer where slavery would be legal according to the Missouri Compromise.
