Movement of people within the given boundaries of a country?

• A. Immigration
• B. Urbanization
• C. Muckraker
• D. Internal Migration

Answer: (D)

Internal migration is the movement of people within the borders of a country. It covers relocating from one state or region to another, or from rural areas to cities, all while staying in the same nation. This differs from immigration, which means moving into the country from another country, and from emigration, which means leaving the country. Urbanization describes the broader trend of people concentrating in cities, which often results from internal migration but isn’t the act of moving within the country itself. A muckraker refers to a journalist who exposes social ills, not population movement. So the term that best fits movement within a country is internal migration.
