Answer:

Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

Because of Japanese folk's fear as well as paranoia the United States interned nearly 127,000 Japanese-Americans in detention centers throughout the length of WWII. Many Americans were concerned that Japanese-Americans would work as spies or traitors for the Japanese government. The United States placed nearly 127,000 Japanese-Americans behind concentration centers for the length of WWII, based on fear rather than proof. During World War II, more than 127,000 Americans were imprisoned.
