Answer:
D. They wanted to get the best possible housing before it was taken.
Explanation:
There were a lot of people who were forced to live in the ghetto, so obviously they wanted to get the best possible place to stay. They were kept there against their own will by the Jackboots, packed in small rooms with people they may not necessarily know, so all of them hurried to find the best option for them and their families.
