Answer

Brief Explanations:

The Johnson - Reed Immigration Act of 1924 established national - origin quotas. It restricted immigration from Southern and Eastern Europe, making it harder for those Europeans to enter the US, while making it easier for those from Northern and Western Europe. The Chinese Exclusion Act targeted Chinese immigrants. The Immigration Act of 1917 had a literacy test requirement but not the differential treatment of Europeans based on region as distinctively as Johnson - Reed. The Emergency Quota Act of 1921 was a precursor to Johnson - Reed but less comprehensive in its quota system.

Answer:

D. The Johnson - Reed Immigration Act
