The correct answer is B) political persecution.

The "pull" factor that did NOT entice people to emigrate to the United States was political persecution.

When talking about factors for emigration, there are two that we should consider. Push factors and Pull factors. Push factors are those factors associated with the native country. This means the reasons that are forcing people lo to leave their native countries. These could be political persecution, poverty, or religious persecution. Pull factors are those factors associated with the country of destination. For instance, job opportunities or better living conditions.
