Explanation:

The quota - system for immigrants in the U.S. was set up due to fears and lack of understanding of foreign cultures and religions among the native population. It was not to allow more migrants (c is incorrect), nor to help Americans learn about foreign cultures (d is incorrect), and population density was not the main reason for the quota system (b is incorrect).

Answer:

A. People feared and did not understand foreign cultures and religions.
