The decline of the Chinese immigration population in the early 1900s can be attributed to several factors, but the most relevant option from the choices given is:
**C. There were very few Chinese women and families in the United States.**
This was a significant factor because the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 and subsequent laws restricted immigration and focused on laborers, leading to a gender imbalance as very few women were able to immigrate. This limited the establishment of families and contributed to the decline in the overall population as many men who had immigrated felt compelled to return to China or were unable to create stable family lives in the U.S.
