Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option by recalling the article's info on Utah's rankings. For option A, if Utah ranked higher than NJ in Work Environment, it's correct. Option B: If Utah was lower in Community & Env, but likely not. Option C: If Utah higher than MD in Emotional & Physical, maybe not. Option D: If Utah lower than MD in Community & Env, unlikely. From typical "happiness state" rankings (like WalletHub), Utah often scores high in Work Environment, so A is accurate.
