Answer:

The correct answer is : Nativism

Step-by-step explanation:

It refers to the policy that protects the interests of native-born or people who are set up in the country against those of immigrants. It is also the favoring of those who were born in a particular place, over those who moved there to live. The residents are given a better status compared to new immigrants.
