I believe letter B is the correct option because it is not an example of forced migration. I know this because the movement of business owners to Europe encourages economic growth and revenue. However, the other examples are quite the opposite.

Answer:

the correct answer is B. the movement of business owners to Europe to establish new business opportunities

Step-by-step explanation:

Forced migration is a type of migration where the individual or a certain group is displaced from its home whether it's to another country, region or city, this means the displacement is involuntary or coerced. The principal causes of forced migration are natural disasters, war, and conflicts, economic circumstances (like venezuela for example).

The answer that doesn't fit the concept of forced migration is the option B. It is never said that the business had to establish somewhere else because they were forced by external forces or a conflict, In this case, its a voluntary and economic migration.
