new jersey
massachusetts

The correct answer is A) New York.

In the years 1840-1850, the Northeastern state that had the largest white population was New York.

During that decade, a great number of immigrants from Europe arrived in the United States. Basically, many people from Ireland. Historians say that almost 3 million Irish people arrived in America during the years 1840-1850. The port of entry was New York. It had an immigration office in Ellis Island. So many white people from Europe arrived through this port and decided to stay in New York.
