Germans seeking farm land

B)

Italians seeking gold mining.

Answer 1

It would have been more likely for c)Chinese seeking railroad jobs to move to the West Coast. This was due to many rural Chinese men looking for a better life and to escape the Chinese Civil War. Since the West Coast was the closest, they would cross the Pacific Ocean and work on the railroads in California along the most Western part of the United States.
