Explanation:

The passage states there are 11.6 million Asian immigrants from ~20 countries, who are the largest U.S. immigrant group. A pie chart would visualize the proportional breakdown of immigrants by their home Asian countries, showing which ones make up the majority of this immigrant population in 2011, which builds on the passage's general data about Asian immigrants. The other options are incorrect: the passage does not focus on all Asian countries, reasons for immigration, or deep details about the specific countries named (China, Vietnam) beyond individual stories.

Answer:

D. It shows which countries the majority of Asian people immigrated from in 2011.
