Answer:

B. Push factor.

Step-by-step explanation:

A push factor is a term used to describe why people migrate from their country. The Irish potato famine was a push factor because it forces the individuals to move voluntarily from Ireland to America. If they did not do that they would die because of the high risk in which they were.

I hope this answer helps you.
