Solution

The correct option is C Involuntary migration
Migration that is forced or is against the free will of individuals is called involuntary migration. In this context, Chandru was forced to sell his land to the government and to migrate as a result of the upcoming industrial projects and due to other push factors such as the lack of an alternate means of income in the village.
