Read the passage and answer the question:

The world refugee map tallies almost perfectly with the world conflicts map because wars and armed conflicts in the South have generated millions of refugees seeking safe haven. From 1990 to 1995, 70 states were involved in 93 wars which killed about 55 lakh people. As a result, individuals, families, and, at times, whole communities have been forced to migrate because of generalized fear of violence or due to the destruction of livelihoods, identities, and living environments.

Which of the following statements is correct?

Statement A- Refugees are those who voluntarily leave their home countries and go to another country.
Statement B- Migrants are those who flee from war, natural disaster, or political persecution to another country.

Neither of them is correct.

The correct answer is Option 4 - Neither of them is correct.

Statement A- Refugees are those who voluntarily leave their home countries and go to another country. (incorrect)
Statement B- Migrants are those who flee from war, natural disaster, or political persecution to another country. (incorrect)

CORRECTION:

Statement A- MIGRANTS, not Refugees are those who voluntarily leave their home countries and go to another country.
Statement B- REFUGEES, not Migrants are those who flee from war, natural disaster, or political persecution to another country.

Poverty in the South has also led to large-scale migration to seek a better life, especially better economic opportunities, in the North. This has created international political frictions. International law and norms make a distinction between migrants (those who voluntarily leave their home countries) and refugees (those who flee from war, natural disaster or political persecution). States are generally supposed to accept refugees, but they do not have to accept migrants.
