Answer:

A) It helped diffuse the rising tension between Japan and the U. S.

Step-by-step explanation:

Gentlemen's Agreement of 1907; it was an informal agreement between the United States and the Empire of Japan in which the United States stopped imposing restrictions on Japanese immigration, and Japan restricted emigration to the United States. The objective was to reduce tensions between the two powers of the Pacific Ocean. The agreement was never ratified by Congress, which abolished the agreement in 1924.
