Select one:

b. people periodically moving from place to place ((Incorrect))
c. people moving out of an area
d. people moved by the Nazis

Answer 1

c. people moving out of an area

Emigration refers to c. people moving out of an area. Immigration in contrast is the movement of people to a new country or state or the move in a new location whereas emigration is to move out. These two words are mostly interchanged which is semantically incorrect and erroneous.
