A. Immigrants were required to settle in communities because of the Organic Act of 1890.

This option is not a valid reason why immigrants settled near each other, as there was no specific requirement for them to do so under the Organic Act of 1890. The other options reflect social, cultural, and supportive reasons for immigrants living in close-knit communities.
