Explanation:

The Immigration Act of 1924, also known as the Johnson - Reed Act, established quotas (specifically national - origin quotas) that limited the number of immigrants from certain countries, especially from Southern and Eastern Europe and restricted Asian immigration. The option "opened the West to Asian immigration" is incorrect as it restricted Asian immigration. "Made special provisions for refugees" is not what this act did (refugee - related provisions came later in other legislation). "Created a federal department to oversee immigration" is incorrect as the Immigration and Naturalization Service was created later, and the act was about quotas. So the correct option is the one about establishing quotas or limits on immigration.

Answer:

B. established quotas or limits on immigration
