Which phrase describes the forces that drive people away and attract them to a new location?

• A. Push Factors
• B. Pull Factors
• C. Push pull Factors
• D. Migration Forces

Answer: (C)

Push-pull factors describe the forces that push people away from one place and pull them toward a new location. Push factors are negative conditions that drive people to leave—things like famine, unemployment, or political instability. Pull factors are positive attractions at the destination—opportunities for work, safety, family connections, or better living conditions. Because this phrase includes both sides of migration, it best captures the idea in the question. The other options only name one side (why people leave or why they go) or use a nonstandard term.
