Answer:

1. A refugee

2. An internally displaced person (IDP)

3. An asylum seeker

Step-by-step explanation:

There are three categories of people who face forced political migration as discussed below

The first is the refugee. Someone who leaves his or her country under compulsion because of the serious violence, war or fear of persecution. Over 75% of the refugee population of the world come from only five countries.

An internally displaced person (IDP) is that individual who, due to natural disaster or internal strife, has been forced to run away from his or her home but does not go beyond areas that borders his or her country with another country. When they leave their homes, they can decide to go and safely stay in another home, or school environment.

An asylum seeker is someone that runs away from his or her own country, to another country where they apply for material help and protection from the government of the area.
