The correct choice is:

**many immigrants who passed through Angel Island were detained for long periods.**

Ellis Island primarily served as a processing center for European immigrants, where they were generally processed relatively quickly. In contrast, Angel Island, located in San Francisco Bay, primarily processed Asian immigrants, many of whom faced longer detention periods and more stringent interrogation and medical examinations due to the discriminatory immigration laws of the time.
