The correct answer is B) Most immigrants had experienced so much extreme change and uprooting, they felt like they had witnessed enough change to last several lifetimes.

When referring to the allusion several hundred years old, the author implied about the immigrants in America that most immigrants had experienced so much extreme change and uprooting, they felt like they had witnessed enough change to last several lifetimes.

The author considers that these immigrants have seen it all. They have lived, suffered, and endured so many things in their native countries, in the trip to other countries, and in the natural problems of being a "foreigner in a strange land." The author says that the people it writes about has passed from civil wars, conflicts, colonialism, and freedom, and has overcome those challenges and are used to so many changes.
