Cevap

Inadequate social amenities and shortage of employment opportunities
The correct option identifies inadequate social amenities and a shortage of employment opportunities as rural push factors. In human geography, push factors are disadvantageous or adverse conditions at the place of origin—such as lack of pipe-borne water, poor electricity, and limited jobs—that compel people to move away toward urban centers.
