Answer 2

The correct answer is C. Remittances represent capital flow from the home country to the host country.

Step-by-step explanation:

Migration refers to the movement of people from their home country to a foreign country where they can stay temporarily or permanently. One of the main causes in migration nowadays is job opportunities as people from underdeveloped and developing countries including skilled and unskilled workers leave their countries for better job opportunities and in the case of some workers, especially unskilled workers they often sent part of the money earned in the foreign or host country to relatives in the home country, which is called Remittance. Therefore, remittances refer to a capital flow from the host country to the home country (not the opposite) and this supports the economies of both countries. Thus, the statement that is false about migration is "Remittances represent capital flow from the home country to the host country".
