This is test of the placement of the limiting adverb only. An adverb normally modifies what is after it. In this case, the gist is that although Maine, borders with two Canadian provinces, is adjacent to only one US state, namely New Hampshire, the adverb limiting the scope to just one other state . So the expression should be ‘is adjacent to only one other” as in C. All other placements of ‘only’ lead to distorted meaning

[color=#0000ff]The state of Maine, in the extreme northeast corner of the continental United States, shares land borders with two Canadian provinces, Quebec and New Brunswick, but only is adjacent with one state, New Hampshire.
The correct idiom is "adjacent to sh". "Only" (adverb here) will modify the closest word.(A) only is adjacent with one
"Only" is misplaced. Wrong idiom.
(B) is adjacent only with one
Wrong idiom.
(C) is adjacent to only one other
Correct.
(D) only is adjacent to one
"Only" is misplaced.
(E) is only adjacent to one other
"Only" is misplaced.
