Among the options available:

D) to limit the number of Japanese unskilled emigrants in exchange for the repeal of the San Francisco segregation law.

Explanation:

Japan agreed to limit issuing of passports to people who wanted to emigrate to the US to work, and the US government agreed to withdraw a polemic law in San Francisco aimed at Japanese people. The so-called Gentlemen's Agreement was in force between 1908 and 1924.
