Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze the characteristics of "New Immigrants" in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. During this period, "New Immigrants" primarily came from Southern and Eastern Europe, and many were Catholics and Jews.

• Option 1: Muslims from Southeastern Europe were not the main group of "New Immigrants" in this period.
• Option 2: This option correctly identifies that the "New Immigrants" were Catholics and Jews from Southern and Eastern Europe.
• Option 3: "New Immigrants" were not mainly from Northern/Western Europe; earlier immigrants (Old Immigrants) were more likely from these regions.
• Option 4: Christians from Asia were not the primary group of "New Immigrants" in this context.

Answer:

B. They were Catholics and Jews who came from Southern and Eastern Europe.
