The correct answer is B. Geographic proximity to native countries influenced immigration patterns.
Explanation:
In the chart, Cuba is the country with the highest number of foreign-born people with a total of 6744 people, and this is also the country that is closest to the state of Florida. Indeed, the distance between Cuba and Florida is only about 300 kilometers. This country is followed by Canada in terms of foreign-born population and this is the second country in terms of proximity. In contrast countries such as China that are far from Florida have a low population. This implies the proximity between countries influences immigration patterns as a close country means more people migrating from that country.
