The two scenarios that represent pull factors of migration are:

  1. Nina moves to Honolulu in Hawaii because the city has a low crime rate. (This represents a pull factor because the low crime rate attracts her to move.)

  2. Valerie is moving to New York from Alabama because of better wages. (This also represents a pull factor, as the opportunity for better wages attracts her to the new location.)

The other options describe push factors, as they involve leaving a location due to adverse conditions (e.g., wars, floods, gender discrimination).
