Explanation:

The Gentlemen's Agreement was a 1907 - 1908 agreement between the US and Japan. The US agreed not to impose formal restrictions on Japanese immigration, and Japan agreed to ban emigration of its citizens (mostly laborers) to the US. Option A matches this description. Option B is incorrect as it's not about China - US and sending American workers. Option C is wrong as it's not about Mexican laborers or limited - time entry. Option D is incorrect as it's not an agreement between Japan and China to send men to America.

Answer:

A. A deal between the United States and Japan that allowed Japan to ban emigration to the United States
