Solution
The correct option is C Seasonal migration
A large number of people from rural areas migrate for a short duration chiefly due to distressing situations in their places of residence. Most of these people are agricultural labourers or marginal farmers in their place of origin. In this context, Karnan migrates to western Maharashtra where sugarcane harvesting is predominant. After the season, he returns to his hometown. Hence, this type of migration is called seasonal migration.
