The most likely group of new immigrants arriving in America in the 1880s would be 'C. Italian and Catholic', as this period saw a significant influx of Italian immigrants driven by various factors, including economic hardship and political unrest in their home country. Many settled in urban areas and faced cultural prejudice in a predominantly Protestant society. This marked a noticeable demographic shift from earlier waves of European immigration.
