The correct response is **greater economic opportunity**.
This option is a pull factor because it refers to the attractive aspects of urban areas, such as better job prospects, higher wages, and more diverse employment opportunities, which encourage lower-income individuals in rural areas to migrate to cities. The other options—natural disaster, religious conflict, and unfair land distribution—are push factors that compel people to leave their rural homes rather than attract them to urban areas.
