What term describes the growth of cities and the migration of people into them?

• A. Immigration
• B. Urbanization
• C. Internal Migration
• D. Muckraker

Answer: (B)

Urbanization describes the growth of cities and the migration of people into them. As industry expands, factories cluster in urban areas, drawing workers from rural regions. This movement leads to larger city populations and the emergence of urban life as the primary setting for work and everyday activity. Immigration refers to moving to a different country, internal migration means moving within a country but not specifically about city growth, and a muckraker is a journalist who exposed social problems—unrelated to the process of city growth.
