Yes — A is correct. Putting quotas on immigrants is a direct way to limit immigration: a quota sets a fixed numerical cap (overall, by visa category, or by country) on how many people may enter or obtain immigrant status in a given period.
Brief notes:
- Quotas can be implemented as annual national ceilings, per-country ceilings, or category-specific limits (family, employment, refugee).
- Historical example: U.S. immigration law has used numerical limits (e.g., the 1924 Immigration Act). Today the U.S. uses annual caps for many immigrant visa categories.
- Other ways to reduce immigration include tightening eligibility rules, changing visa categories, increasing enforcement, or expanding temporary/guest-worker programs — but quotas are the straightforward numerical control.
