The environmental condition that is most likely to act as a push factor for migration is:
**B. The occurrence of droughts or flooding that reduces the availability of fertile land for farming.**
Push factors typically involve negative conditions or circumstances that drive people to leave their current location, such as natural disasters, resource scarcity, or environmental degradation. Droughts and flooding directly impact agricultural productivity and can lead to food shortages, prompting people to migrate elsewhere in search of better living conditions.
