Due to extreme poverty in Italy during the time period between 1870 and 1930, almost 4 1/2 million Italians—most of whom were farmers—immigrated to the United States. The wave from Italy reached its height in the 10-year span between 1920 and 1930, when Italians comprised 12% of the total number of immigrants admitted to the United States. The majority of these Italian immigrants were from Southern Italy and Sicily, and upon their arrival, they settled along the East Coast, with the heaviest concentrations in cities such as New York, Boston, and Philadelphia, though some made the arduous trip across the country to settle in Northern California.
The statements above, if true, support which of the following?
A. The American descendants of those early Italian immigrants outnumber the current population of Italy.
B. Many American farmers today are descendants of Italians.
C. The strong Euro dollar has contributed to the sharp decline in Italian immigrants.
D. An Italian immigrant to America today is still likely to be from Southern Italy or Sicily.
E. At the turn of the 19th century, the southern portion of Italy was the country's prominent agricultural region.

How is E correct? All we know is that most of immigrants in 4.5 M were farmers and most of them were from south, but statement E says the southern portion of Italy was the country's prominent agricultural region.
it could be possible that north part of Italy was prominent Agricultual region, but south farmers were affected because of some reasons.
may be because of damage of crops due to southern climate, thus they suffer in poverty. But still prominent agricultural region in Italy at 19th century was north.

KAPLAN OFFICIAL EXPLANATION:
E
If, as the passage states, that the majority of the Italians that immigrated to the U.S. between 1870 and 1930 were farmers from the south or Sicily, it strongly implies the region of Italy from which they immigrated was primarily agricultural. (E) is correct. It is very possible that (A) is a true statement, but there would need to be current Italian population figures included in the passage to support it-there is not. (C) is also probably true, but the passage doesn't specifically state there was a sharp decline in Italian immigrants, so the statement has no support. The fact that the heaviest concentration of Italians settled in cities contradicts choice (B); from this information, it is safe to assume that upon arriving in America, most of the immigrants probably never farmed for a living again. (D) is completely out of scope.
