overall economic output declined due to subsidized resettlement programs for new immigrants.
more americans supported federal limits on immigration from specific countries.
the federal government implemented labor protections for american workers.
new immigrants were unable to access land offered through federal legislation.

Explanation:

In the late 19th - century, as immigration increased in the US, there was growing nativist sentiment. Americans became more concerned about the influx of immigrants from certain countries and supported federal limits on immigration from specific places. The overall economic output did not decline due to immigrant resettlement programs; in fact, immigrants contributed to economic growth. Labor - protection measures for American workers were not a direct result of increased immigration in this period. And new immigrants were able to access land under some federal land - grant legislation in some cases.

Answer:

B. More Americans supported federal limits on immigration from specific countries.
