Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
The National Origins Quota System, established in 1924, allowed a large quota for immigrants from northern European countries (such as Great Britain and Ireland) but only a small quota for immigrants from eastern and southern European countries (such as Italy and Poland). This system was based on the idea of "preferred" and "non-preferred" races, with northern Europeans seen as more desirable than other groups. The system was designed to limit the number of new immigrants coming to the United States, particularly those from non-white, non-Protestant backgrounds.
