Answer: B. The movement of business owners to Europe to establish new business opportunities.

Step-by-step explanation:

Forced migration refers to the displacement that refugees, migrants, and internally displaced persons are forced to make, either within their own homeland or between different countries, because of political conflict, environmental catastrophes, nuclear accidents, famine, or development projects. Such is the case of prisoners sent to Australia, American Indians expulsed from their homelands, and Irish escaping starvation.
