Question

maracas are considered an:
idiophone
chordophone

Idiophones produce sound by vibrating their own body. Maracas create sound when their internal contents strike the hard shell (the instrument's own body), fitting this category. Chordophones use vibrating strings, electrophones rely on electricity, and aerophones use vibrating air columns, none of which apply to maracas.
