Answer 1

B. II and III

Step-by-step explanation:

The US was a very popular destination for migration, be it because of religious freedom, better opportunities in life, or simple to escape from a disaster in one's country. In the late 19th century, between 1880 and 1890, the majority of the immigrants that came to the US were from Southern and Eastern Europe. This was due to the bad economic conditions in these regions, as well as the persecutions of come religious and ethnic groups. The Italians were the ones that came in in biggest number, followed by lot of Jewish people, and multiple ethnic groups from the Balkans, resulting in the formation of new communities in the US.
