Unfortunately, you forgot to attach the options for this question.

However, trying to help you we can comment on the following.

The policy of protecting the interests of people born in a country and limiting the rights of recent immigrants is known as "Nativism."

Nativism was the belief that descendants of English settlers needed protection from other immigrant groups.

The English descendants that lived in North American feared the migration waves from European countries and Asia. That is when the idea of Nativism developed. The belief that Americans had to be protected from these immigrants' culture, traditions, and customs. American citizens started to demand government actions to put a stop to migration. This was a negative reaction to immigrants that "flooded" large cities such as New York.
