How did President Theodore Roosevelt resolve a dispute with Japan over immigration?

Answer
A
He sent the US Navy into Japanese ports to prevent ships filled with Japanese immigrants from sailing to the United States.
B
He stopped schools in San Francisco from discriminating against Japanese immigrants with Japan’s promise to send fewer immigrants.
C
He stopped all Japanese immigration into the United States.
D
He forced Japanese immigrants to return to Japan.

Explanation

President Roosevelt addressed the dispute through the Gentlemen’s Agreement of 1907–1908. San Francisco agreed to end its policy of separating Japanese students in public schools, while Japan agreed to limit passports for Japanese laborers seeking to immigrate to the United States. This matches the choice describing the school discrimination agreement and reduced immigration.
