Answer 1

The correct option is C Both statements are true, and Statement 2 justifies Statement 1

In its report from 1990, the National Commission of Rural Labour found that uneven development and regional
disparity triggered and accelerated seasonal migration. In tribal areas, the intrusion of outsiders and the displacement of people for infrastructure projects have caused a noticeable degree of distress. In the agriculture sector, employers recruit migrants from their native places. Additionally, employers go to the deprived villages from underdeveloped states and recruit migrants to work in the coffee plantations of other states.
