Answer

C

Explanation

The Immigration Act of 1965, also known as as the Hart-Celler Act, abolished the national origins quota system that had been in place in the United States since the 1920s. Instead, it established a new immigration policy based on reuniting immigrant families and attracting skilled labor to the United States. The Act did not restrict immigration based on education or skills, nor did it specifically target countries affiliated with communism. It also did not grant citizenship to undocumented people in the United States. Therefore, the statement that best describes the Immigration Act of 1965 is that it eliminated the quota system for people from all countries to immigrate to the United States.
