"The rapid expansion of high-tech defense industries, service sectors, and agricultural enterprises in the South and West during the late twentieth century acted as a dual demographic magnet. While it drew millions of domestic migrants from the industrial Northeast and Midwest, it simultaneously attracted unprecedented numbers of immigrants from Latin America and East Asia. This concurrent movement transformed suburban landscapes, creating multiethnic communities in areas that were historically homogeneous. Although the initial domestic migration wave fueled a conservative political realignment in the region, the long-term convergence of diverse international and domestic populations gradually reshaped the local political, economic, and cultural dynamics."
The developments described in the passage most directly contributed to which of the following political trends in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries?

- BA nationwide resurgence of labor union density and influence, driven by service-sector organizing in Southwestern states.
- CA decline in the popularity of supply-side economic policies as incoming migrants successfully lobbied for increased federal regulation of local industries.
- DThe complete dismantling of Great Society entitlement programs due to pressure from the growing coalition of fiscally conservative Sun Belt retirees.
