B. German immigrants were seeking work and political freedom.

Explanation:

Between 1820 and 1850, many German immigrants arrived in the United States. These immigrants came looking for political and religious freedom. They also came looking for better work opportunities than those that could be found in Europe. These immigrants settled everywhere in the country, but a large number of them chose the territory that extends from Pennsylvania to Oregon. Nowadays, German-Americans are the largest white ethnic group in the United States.
