The author claims that the United States would be a different place today without the work of Chinese laborers in the 1800s. Which selection from the article provides the MOST chevidence to support this claim?
(A) In Utah, the railway was united with the Union Pacific Railroad in the golden spike ceremony on May 10, 1869. Those Chinese workers accounted for as much as 90 percent of the Central Pacific workforce.
(B) The Chinese workers played a vitally important role. Yet, their contribution was overlooked because of racism and a deep-seated suspicion of foreigners.
(C) In the 1860s, railroad leaders were not eager to hire Chinese laborers. One example was Leland Stanford, California's first Republican governor and the president of the Central Pacific rail company.
(D) The standoff lasted for eight days, and ended with defeat for the Chinese laborers after the company cut off the delivery of necessary goods. Eventually, however, the company did raise their pay, though not to the level at which whites were paid.
