Codes are first sent to your Trusted Devices, which is another device signed into your account. If you have no other Trusted Devices, then choose the option that says you didn't get the code and it will use your Trusted Phone number set up on your account with either a text message or phone call.

Get a verification code and sign in with two-factor authentication - Apple Support

To review the information you have for your Trusted Phone number on your account, you can find that here:

Two-factor authentication for Apple Account - Apple Support

You can manually get a verification code on your iPhone by going to Settings > [name on top] > Password & Security > Get Verification Code.
