What are my options for answering a complaint filed in Arizona when I was served and live in Iowa? Do I have to go to Arizona to file my answer in person or are there other options?

Most all litigation filings are done by US Mail, facsimile, or in many instances today, can be done via internet portals provided by the Court. Personal appearance is not reqired to file an Answer To The Complaint.

I would recommend, however, that you consult an experienced attorney with regard to the requirements of the Answer, as there can be significant legal consequences to any assertions, oversights or unasserted defenses.
