The correct choice is:
**who emigrated in the late 1700s**
The original sentence lacks a relative pronoun to connect the phrase "Many groups" with the action of emigrating. By adding "who," the sentence becomes grammatically correct. Thus, the revised sentence would read: "Many groups who emigrated in the late 1700s were comprised of Lutherans and members of the German Reformed faith."
