Let's look at one sentence in the text above:

"After surveying 15 migrants in Maine, he concludes that all migrants in Maine "...

So, what happened is that he asked a few immigrants a question, and then assumed that the answer is also true for all the immigrants. This kind of reasoning is also known as "generalisation" - so he can "generalise" - that's the correct answer
