To find the answer to this question, you can start by understanding the given options and eliminating those that are clearly not related to remittances.
Option A, "the movement of people from one place to another," does not directly relate to remittances. It refers to the act of people physically relocating, which is not the same as remitting money.
Option B, "the forming of a new culture from mixing meanings and practices of multiple groups," is a concept related to cultural assimilation and has no direct connection to remittances.
Option D, "a measure of the share of society not contributing as much economically, such as the young and old," describes a measure of economic productivity and is unrelated to the definition of remittances.
Therefore, the correct answer is option C, "money sent back to people in an immigrant's home country." Remittances are specifically financial transfers made by immigrants to individuals or households in their country of origin.
