Answer:

Immigrants were diagnosed with a disease.

Step-by-step explanation:

Upon arriving at Ellis Island, immigrants were usually checked for a variety of diseases such as fever, chickenpox, or mumps. If they tested positive for any of these diseases, they were usually immediately hospitalized. So, we can deduce that the first option is the correct answer.

Hopefully that's helpful! :)
