    Answer: D) using race for the first time to exclude a group of people from entering the United States.

    Explanation:

    The Chinese Exclusion Act was approved by the United States Congress in 1882 and signed by the then president of the country, Chester A. Arthur. This law resulted in the suspension of immigration of workers from China for a period of 10 years.

    It should be noted that this is the first law enacted by the United States that prohibited the immigration of a group of people because of their racial origin.
