According to the given data, the population of the critically endangered Philippine eagle is about 350-650 individuals. This means that there is no immigration of the eagle species taking place.

Immigration takes place when a species sets up a home in a habitat because that habitat is suitable for it. In this situation, no immigration is taking place whi the population of species is very low.

Therefore, the correct answer is option c. immigration.
