How did the Refugee Act of 1980 redefine "refugee” in the US?

The Refugee Act of 1980 defined a refugee as someone outside their country who is unable or unwilling to return because of a well-founded fear of persecution, based on factors such as race, religion, nationality, social group, or political opinion. Therefore, the correct choice is “a person with a well-founded fear of persecution.” Seeking a job, education, or better health care alone does not meet this definition.
