b. Medical/Educational facilities
c. Unemployment
d. Epidemics

Answer 1

Answer:

b. Medical/Educational facilities

Explanation:

• The push factor are those that drive out the people from their homelands in search of basic amenities and there can be various factors like the Water shortage or scarcity as water is basic resource long dry spells have driven mankind for long distances in search of water, unemployment is another factor as the large scale people of India are unemployed and thus in order to get a job they have to migrate like shift from rural to urban areas.

• Epidemics are also one of the major factors of movement as the spreading of dangerous zika virus or Ebola disease that puts life at hold is considered to be a significant factor in the transmigration of people in various countries.

• Apart from all medical and education facilities are no a major push factor as these facilities can be generated in the locality or region and thus cannot become a permanent push factor in the concept of growth.
