Which statement describes a pull factor?

• A. a factor that describes the climate of the destination country
• B. a factor that causes people to want to leave their country
• C. a factor that attracts a person to that country, such as weather or a job offer
• D. a policy that restricts entry

Answer: (C)

Pull factors are the positive reasons that attract people to move to a new place. They explain why someone would choose to migrate to a particular country. Weather or a job offer are classic examples because they draw someone toward that destination. Describing the climate of the destination is just a characteristic of the place, not a motive to move. The idea of someone wanting to leave their country is a push factor, not something that pulls them in. A policy that restricts entry is a barrier, not a draw. So, the statement that describes something that attracts a person to that country, such as weather or a job offer, is the best description of a pull factor.
