Chinese immigrants was most likely to face interrogation at immigration stations during the 1800’s.

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

The Chinese immigration act was implemented in the year 1882. This act prohibited the entry of Chinese immigrants into the United States of America. Later, in the 1920's this act was made permanent and it allowed only 150 Chinese immigrants per annum.

Due to this act, Chinese could get only small and low paying jobs. This also resulted in people from other races in being restricted entry into the United States of America, eventually leading to a lot of economic problems for the country.
