D.) There were no port cities for them to arrive in.

C.) Slaves handled nearly all the labor needs.

Explanation:

Being an agricultural and rural area, the South didn't really have many opportunities for those who arrived there. Although there was a time in which immigrants did go to South, many wouldn't handle the abusive terms of their contracts. A lot of them died. Eventually, the South managed to do everything that they wanted by recurring to the use of slaves.

C.) Slaves handled nearly all the labor needs.

Explanation:

The main reason why immigrants did not generally moved to the South was the fact that almost all labor in the region was performed by slaves. This meant that immigrants would have a very difficult time finding jobs. If a plantation owner had to hire a worker, this would cost him a lot more money than if he had the work performed by a slave. Therefore, most immigrants moved to the North, where their chances of having a good future were better.
