Read the given passage carefully and answer following question:-

Apart from birth and death, there is another way by which the population size changes.

When people move from one place to another, the place they move from is called the place of origin and the place they move to is called the place of destination. The place of the origin shows a decrease in population while the population increases in the place of destination. Migration may be interpreted as a spontaneous effort to achieve a better balance between population and resources.

Migration may be permanent, temporary or seasonal. It may take place from rural to rural areas, rural to urban areas, urban to urban areas and urban to rural areas.

People migrate for a better economic and social life. There are two sets of factors that influence migration. The push factors make the place of origin seem less attractive for reasons like unemployment, poor living conditions, political turmoil, unpleasant climate, natural disasters, epidemics and socio-economic backwardness. The pull factors make the place of destination seem more attractive than the place of origin for reasons like better job opportunities and living conditions, peace and stability, security of life and property and pleasant climate.

Which one of the following is NOT a type of migration?

Commuting

The correct answer is Option (3) → Commuting

• Commuting is NOT a type of migration. It refers to the regular movement of individuals between their residence and their place of work or study.
• Commuters usually do not change their place of residence; they travel to a different location for work or educational purposes but return to their homes on a regular basis.

The other options, permanent, temporary, and seasonal, represent different types of migration with varying durations and purposes.
