Answer 2

The correct answer is D. People form Northern Europe had the best chance of immigrating.

Step-by-step explanation:

The passing of The Immigration Act of 1924, also known as The Johnson-Reed Act established a system of national origins quotas which limited the number of immigrants allowed to enter into the USA. The quota calculations included large numbers of people of British descent who had been in America for decades. The percentage of visas available to British and Northern European citizens were higher than to immigrants coming from Southern and Eastern Europe.

This system also excluded from entry everyone deemed inelegible for citizenship by virtue of race or nationality, i.e. Asians.
