Most immigrants who passed through Ellis Island were European, but most who passed through Angel Island were Asian. What is the most likely reason for this?

Ellis Island, in New York Harbor, was the main immigrant processing station for arrivals from Europe. Angel Island, in San Francisco Bay, served many immigrants arriving from Asia. Their locations made each island more accessible to immigrants crossing the Atlantic or Pacific, respectively, so choice A is the best reason.
