Explanation
Answer - A - Most likely, the main reason for the Jewish migration out of Hungary, Germany, and Crimea was that Russia and Poland had much more tolerant policies towards minorities and immigrants.

Key Takeaway: Religious tolerance in Western Europe-or lack thereof-played a large role in the migration of Jews.
