Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
The Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 prohibited Chinese immigration, and subsequent laws restricted immigration from other Asian countries. It was not until the 1940s that immigration policies began to change, and even then, there were still restrictions in place. So, immigrants from Asian countries were largely prohibited from entering the United States prior to the 1940s.
