Answer:

B) Ellis Island

Step-by-step explanation:

Ellis Island was designated as the site of the First Federal Immigration station by President Benjamin Harrison in 1890. It is located at the mouth of the Hudson River between New York and New Jersey. Over the next decades, more than 12 million people passed through the island until it closed in 1954. Nowadays it holds the Ellis Island Museum of Immigration were people can trace back their ancestors.
