Explanation:

The detail "One doctor drew chalk marks on immigrants with health problems" indicates that those with health issues were singled out. This implies that only those without such marks (i.e., good - health immigrants) were allowed entrance. The other options either just state facts about the doctors or the disease without directly relating to the selection of healthy immigrants.

One doctor drew chalk marks on immigrants with health problems.
