Answer:
A. permanent move
Explanation:
Chinese immigrants into America saw their movement as a "permanent move."
This is because in the mid 19th century, particularly the 1850s, when the Chinese were migrating to the United States, they moved because of the poor economic situation in China.
However, following the end of the California gold rush that requires more labor, instead of the Chinese moving back home or to another country if their choice, they then stay behind, competing with the locals for the job at a very ridiculous cheap labor rate.
