The correct answer is A. German Americans.
During World War I, there was a significant rise in prejudice and violence against German Americans. This was primarily due to the negative portrayal of Germans in American media and the association of German Americans with the enemy. Many German Americans faced discrimination and were subjected to verbal and physical attacks. Some even experienced vandalism of their businesses and homes. The government also implemented policies to suppress German culture and language, and German-American organizations faced surveillance and censorship. Overall, World War I led to a climate of intolerance towards German Americans in the United States.
