Respuesta :
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.

The correct option is A.
Why was there an increase in population after the Civil War?
The years of industrial expansion after the Civil War brought significant changes to American society. The country became increasingly urban, and cities grew not only in terms of population but also in size, with skyscrapers pushing cities upward and new transportation systems extending them outward.
How did the Civil War affect the population?
The Civil War was America's bloodiest conflict. It caused lots of causalities as the chart above shows. Roughly 2% of the population, around 620,000 men lost their lives. Taken as a percentage of the population these days, the number of deaths would have risen as high as 6 million souls.
