Explanation:

The question is about the deportation of people of German descent during the Great Depression. The key context is the economic situation with scarce jobs. The first option says many Americans believed immigrants would compete for already scarce jobs, which aligns with the economic anxiety of the Great Depression. The second option about eugenics is less relevant to the deportation of German - descent people at this time, and the third option about spying is not the main reason for their deportation during the Great Depression.
