Option B

Explanation:

Push and Pull factor is the right answer.

The people left their homes and came to the united states for various reasons. There were two types of factors that caused people to migrate. Economic, Religious and Political Factors were the most important push factors. The rise of American industry and the growth of the railroads created jobs, which acted as a pull factor. In Europe, people were persecuted for their beliefs and many of them migrated to America (The members of the religious society of Friends)
