Answer 1

The correct option is D 1, 2, 3, and 4

Human migration is the movement by people from one place to another with the intention of settling temporarily or permanently in the new location. It may include individuals, family units or even large groups. Push factors are those that force individuals to move involuntarily. Unemployment and a lack of health and educational facilities are examples of the same. Social disadvantages created by caste may also serve as a push factor in this context.
