Final answer:

Japanese-Americans were forced into internment camps during World War II in the western U.S.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is B. Japanese-Americans.

During World War II, approximately 127,000 Japanese and Japanese Americans were forced into internment camps in the western U.S. under Executive Order 9066. This order gave military leaders the authority to relocate and contain certain groups, based on fears of disloyalty. The internment camps were located in California, Arizona, Colorado, Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, and Arkansas.
