Answer:

b. a resident of the United States for two years, a person of good moral character, and a free white person.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Naturalization Act of 1970 was a law passed by the United States that states the conditions for a person to be deemed a legal citizen of the nation. This Act also restricted any slaves, indentured servants, for they are "properties".

This law states that, for a person to be a naturalized citizen of the US, he/she must be a resident of the United States for at least two years. The person must also have a good moral character, and that he/she must be a free white person. This means that any person with darker skin tones like the African-Americans can not be citizens.

Thus, the correct answer is option b.
