Correct Answer: which
Solution : The second option is the correct answer.
In this context, the pronoun needs to refer to the group of states that are not willing to reopen until September. The relative pronoun "which" is suitable in this situation, as it introduces a restrictive clause specifying the characteristics of the States (not opening until September). It maintains clarity by directly connecting the information about these states with the preceding context.
Therefore, the correct answer is which.
