Solution

The correct choice is "landmarks—is". This is because the sentence is using an em dash (—) to provide additional information about "Old Faithful". The em dash works like a colon or parenthesis to provide extra information or clarification. The sentence could also be written as: "Old Faithful, one of Yellowstone National Park’s best known landmarks, is a geothermal geyser that has erupted every 44 minutes to two hours since 2000." But in the original sentence, the em dash is used to create a more dramatic effect.
