The correct answer is C) illegal drug trade.
An increase in the illegal drug trade is causing people in Latin America to flee their homeland.
Drug cartels are instilling fear in many places of Latin America. This difficult situation has caused fear in people that have decided to leave their native countries in search of better lives. That was the case of Colombia and the drug cartels. Or what is happening in some states of Mexico, where the Mexican government is trying to fight the cartels and take them to prison.
