Which statement best defines immigration?

• A. Immigration
• B. the process of people establishing homes, and often citizenship, in a country that is not their native country
• C. politicians influencing international treaties
• D. the movement of goods between countries

Answer: (B)

Immigration is about people moving to live in a different country, often with the goal of establishing a home and sometimes acquiring citizenship. The statement that describes the process of people establishing homes in a country that is not their native country best captures this idea, because it highlights both settling and the potential path to citizenship in a new place.

This differs from other ideas like moving goods between countries, which is about trade, or political actions that influence treaties—both are not about people relocating to live in a new country. It’s also distinct from simply visiting or traveling, since immigration focuses on long-term settlement and integration into the country.
