A) the individual states.

Explanation:

The unit of analysis is who or what is being analyzed as part of a research project. While the unit of observation is the thing (fact, response, action, etc.) that is observed in the research project.

In this case the unit of analysis are the individual states and the units of observation are laws requiting motorcyclists to wear helmets and clean air legislation.
