As David noted, pensions from the the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and its political subdivisions are not taxed in Massachusetts.
So, if the pension you received is from the pension fund run by the state government (it sounds like it may be), you should check the top box "qualified government retirement distributions".
But please contact your pension plan administrator to confirm that they are a MA government pension - they will know.
