C. a fear that immigrants would take highly skilled jobs that paid well

I apologize for the mistake. The correct answer is:
D. the fear of different races becoming more dominant in the United States
The Emergency Quota Act of 1921 aimed to restrict immigration to the United States with the purpose of limiting immigration from certain countries and preserving the existing ethnic composition of the population.

I apologize for the confusion. The correct answer is:
