¿qué es el nativismo?
○ prejudice by native born americans against old immigrants
○ a prejudice by native born americans against new immigrants.
○ a prejudice by native born americans against canadian immigrants.
○ a prejudice by native born americans against mexican immigrants

Explanation:

Nativism refers to the prejudice of native - born Americans against new immigrants (those from Southern and Eastern Europe in the late 19th/early 20th century, distinct from earlier "old" immigrants from Western Europe). The first option is incorrect as it's against new, not old, immigrants. The third and fourth options are too specific (targeting Canadian or Mexican immigrants, while nativism was broader against new immigrant groups), so the correct description is a prejudice by native - born Americans against new immigrants.

Answer:

B. A prejudice by native born Americans against New Immigrants.
