"Jewish people were fleeing Nazi violence and persecution." — This is the correct reason.

Explanation: The Holocaust and Nazi persecution drove large numbers of Jews to seek safety and a homeland. After WWII many Jewish survivors were displaced and emigrated to Palestine (both legally and illegally) despite British immigration limits. The other options are incorrect: European governments did not generally encourage Jewish emigration to Palestine, Jewish immigrants were not coming to support Arab independence, and the Ottoman Empire ceased to exist after World War I.
