Correct answer:

b. Refugees seek protected entrance to the United States, while asylees are already in the United States.

A refugee is a person who is outside of their country of nationality and can not or will not return to their country due to a persecution of race, religion, social group or political opinion. An asylee is a person who meets the refugee definition and is already present in the United States.
