Hi!

In the 1800s, nativism was assertive, in that many people were preferring people natively born in the U.S. instead of immigrants from overseas.

Hopefully, this helps! =)

The correct answer is:

A- a policy favoring native-born Americans over immigrants

Explanation:

Nativism is the executive position of processing status for several organized inhabitants of a nation as contrasted to requirements of newcomers or aliens. It is characterized by opposition to immigration based on fears that the emigrants will deteriorate or spoil surviving cultural importance.
