D. Increased because of job opportunities.
The correct answer is C. Increased because of a gold rush.
During the late 1800s, particularly after the discovery of gold in California in 1848, there was a significant increase in Chinese immigration to the United States. Many Chinese people sought better economic opportunities, often coming to work in mining and later in railroads as well. This influx was part of a broader trend of migration driven by searching for economic prospects.
