D) The newest wave of immigrants in the late nineteenth century were from Eastern and Southern Europe. The photograph shows immigrants arriving at Ellis Island, which was a major entry point for immigrants to the United States during the late 1800s and early 1900s. These immigrants were primarily from Eastern and Southern Europe, as well as other regions such as the Middle East.
