The correct answer is D) because of the proximity to their homelands.
The other options were A) It was the least expensive area of Florida in which to settle. B) They wanted to finally live somewhere that had a beach. C) because they were not allowed to live north of Lake Okeechobee.
Many Cubans, Bahamians, and Jamaicans settle in south Florida and the Florida Keys because of the proximity to their homelands. The Florida peninsula is so close to the island of Cuba. Almost 105 miles from the tip of the Florida peninsula to the closest portion of the land of the Island of Cuba. So many islanders from Cuba, Bahamas, and Jamaica decide to immigrate to Florida because it is the closest option, and already they have families and friends in south Florida and the Florida Keys.
