d. none of the above

Explanation:

The American Competitiveness in the 21st Century Act (AC21) was passed into law in October 2000 by the government of the U. S and concerns immigration to the United States. It complemented the American Competitiveness and Workforce Improvement Act that was initially passed into law in 1998. The main aim of this Act was to alter the rules concerning caps and portability for the H-1B visa, as it aims to increase the number of available visas to workers and to allow them to change employers without any hassles.
