The Mughal or Mogul Empire ruled most of India and Pakistan in the 16th and 17th centuries. The time of their reign was marked by a period of peaceful religious and cultural blossoming between Hindus and Muslims in India, whose culmination is the golden era of Islamic-Hindu cross-influences. This empire, in turn, strengthened the influence of Islam in South Asia, extending Muslim, especially Persian culture. Mughal were Muslims who ruled the Hindu majority.
Your two choices (after using process of elimination) are A and B. The answer is more likely A than B. This is because, after the civil war there was an abundance of unemployed people who probably preferred not to work in the south anymore, so they migrated north and many landed in New York. If I had to guess it was because it was a port city but there were many other things as well.
Hope this helps.
