Solution
The correct option is D Active religious persecution The migrations provoked by push factors are called forced migrations.
Thousands of people around the world have to leave their homes due to major political unrests, leading to war like conditions. Such a situation might not only lead to resource scarcity and unemployment, but also, unfortunately, loss of life.
Apart from political troubles, other push factors that can cause migration are natural calamities, unemployment, active religious persecution, resource or infrastructural scarcity.
