The correct answer is

2

Migration refers to the movement of people from one place to another for work, better living or other reasons.

There are broadly 2 sets of factors that influence migration: push factors and pull factors.

Push factors drive people away from a place (such as unemployment, poverty or disasters), while pull factors attract them to a new place (such as better jobs, education or facilities).

The options 3, 4 and 5 do not match this standard two-fold classification of migration factors.

Together, push and pull factors explain most decisions about why and where people migrate.

Therefore, there are broadly 2 sets of factors that influence migration.
