Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: (B) P–3; Q–1; R–2; S–4
Explanation
Involuntary migration is forced(3); step migration proceeds through intermediate stages(1); circular migration repeats between places(2); chain migration follows established origin–destination networks(4). Thus B. International relocation can be voluntary or forced and is not by itself the meaning of circular migration.
