And the answer is ...
b) Millard Fillmore
Although Fillmore was born in New York, he was the only one of four US presidents from the state that didn't become as governor first (Martin Van Buren, Theodore Roosevelt, and Franklin Roosevelt, the other three, all served as governor). Grover Cleveland, although he was New York governor, was from New Jersey.
Another bit of trivia: Virginia is the state that produced the most presidents, with seven, including George Washington.
