Mexico.

In 1882 the US law prohibited all immigration from C. China, (Chinese Exclusion Act)

it was only for 10 years.

The correct answer is C) China.

The Chinese Exclusion Act (1882), passed under President Chester A Arthur, prohibited immigration from China. One of the reasons behind this law was increased nativist sentiment in American society. Many American citizens did not like Chinese immigrants because many of them were coming to work in America on the development of the transcontinental railroad. Often, these immigrant workers were willing to work for less than American workers. Nativist felt that this was unfair and that American citizens should take priority in terms of their needs and wants.
