Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The majority of international migrants tend to move to countries that are relatively close to their home countries due to factors such as geographical proximity, cultural similarities, and existing migrant networks that can provide support. This pattern is more common than moving to distant countries like the U.S., Canada, Japan, or Australia, or even to regions like Western Europe, although these areas do attract significant numbers of migrants.
