Word: Emigrate
A.Animals emigrate in search of food from place to place.
B.The family decided to emigrate to a safe and secure country.✓ Correct
C.Workers emigrate from province to province in search of seasonal jobs.
D.New laws were being enacted to control emigration into the country.
Explanation
Emigrate specifically means to leave one's own country to settle permanently in another. It applies to humans moving between countries — not animals (which 'migrate'), not internal movement within a country (which is 'migration'), and not movement INTO a country (which is 'immigration'). Option (a) is wrong because animals migrate, not emigrate. Option (c) is wrong because movement between provinces of the same country is internal migration. Option (d) confuses 'emigration' (leaving) with 'immigration' (entering). Option (b) correctly describes a family leaving their country to settle permanently in another — the precise meaning of emigrate. Therefore the answer is (b).
