What best explains the decision of the Mormons to settle in Utah Territory?
We don't have "the following", so we can't answer this question very well, but the reason the Mormon pioneers had to leave their previous homes in New York, Ohio, Missouri, and Illinois is because they were kicked out or forced to leave due to extreme persecution. The reason why they moved to Utah is because God lead them there, Joseph Smith had prophesied they would have to move to the Rocky Mountains, and they wanted to go to a land that nobody else wanted so that they wouldn't risk having large groups of people move in and repeat the persecution they had faced elsewhere.
Why did the Mormons have to move from place to place before settling in Utah?
The Mormons moved from New York to Ohio to Missouri to Illinois to Utah because they faced violent persecution and in some cases were kicked out of their homes or were asked to leave by the government. At the time that the Mormons arrived, Utah was only inhabited by a handful of (mostly friendly) Native American tribes and was outside the jurisdiction of the US Government, which meant that the Mormons could finally practice their religion in peace.

What attracted the LDS Mormon settlers to Utah?
The Mormon pioneers moved to Utah for several reasons. First, the prophet Joseph Smith prophesied that they would find protection and peace in the Rocky Mountains. Second, Utah was a place where no white people lived, and where no white people wanted to live - so they could be free from persecution. The Native Americans there were relatively friendly and willing to work together with them, allowing the Mormons to live there successfully. Third, Utah at the time was a part of Mexico. The United States government had refused to protect the Mormons and some Mormon leaders had been accused of treason when they fought for their freedom to worship, so moving to a new country was a fresh start.
