Answer: C. Immigration

In this essay, the author questions whether our usual understanding of immigration is a fair one, and one that we can allow to continue in the future. The author questions whether we can really provide enough for everyone, and whether everyone in the world deserves the same as everyone else. He also discusses ways in which we can improve the standards of living of people around the world and that do not require them leaving their country, such as population control.
