A.) immigrant
B.) emigrant
C.) stock
D.) pull factor
C.) stock
The correct answer is C.) stock. The total number of migrants present in a country is referred to as the stock.
The correct answer is C) stock. The total number of migrants present in a country is referred to as the "stock." It represents the cumulative number of people living in a country who were born in other countries. The stock includes both immigrants (those who have moved to the country) and emigrants (those who have moved away from the country).
To find this answer, you could start by understanding the definitions of the terms given in the options. An immigrant is someone who moves to a country from another country, while an emigrant is someone who leaves their country to settle in another. However, neither term specifically refers to the total number of migrants present in a country.
Stock, on the other hand, is the term used to describe the total number of migrants living in a country at any given point in time. It encompasses both immigrants and emigrants. Therefore, the correct choice is C) stock.
