Answer:

Option c. containing Hispanic Americans, almost all of whom are illegal immigrants.

Step-by-step explanation:

The word "Las Colonias" contains Spanish roots. It has a colonization connotation attached to it. The "colonization" happened as a result of the mass immigration of the Hispanic Americans, of whom most were chiefly Mexican. The city is a mixed city in the United States with a higher population density of Hispanic or Latino people. In fact, demographically, the people make up to 92 % of the population.
