The correct answer is B) social construct of race.

However, the social construct makes people identify and generalize one race in the same category of other. That is the case with this question. In that time, the forties, the census limited its classification to basic concepts. Mexicans were cataloged as "whites." Now, there is a correct division of races in which Hispanics are divided into nationalities: Mexicans, Peruvians, Argentinians, and more.
