The correct answer is - D) Jewish immigrants in Poland who fled to the United States to escape religious persecution and seek safety and new opportunities.
The push factors are the factors that make the people move away from one place to another. They are negative factors, and can be economical, political, because of safety reasons etc.
The Jews that fled Poland in order to feel safe and get new opportunities in life in the United States, based on the religious and ethnic persecution, is a nice example of a push factor. In this case we have a push factor motivated on religious and ethnic hatred, which of course will make the people of the persecuted group feel unsafe, threatened, so they will try to move away if possible because their lives are in danger.
Answer:

Explanation:
In May 2019, Parliament declared a 'climate change emergency', however this does not legally compel the government to act.
In rain storms methane gases into carbon, as it falls it turns into pieces of graphite and then into diamonds.
Characteristics of a rejuvenated river include water that flows rapidly with sloping sides that create steep cuts on the valley floor.
Answer:
Hybridization may drive rare taxa to extinction through genetic swamping, where the rare form is replaced by hybrids, or by demographic swamping, where population growth rates are reduced due to the wasteful production of maladaptive hybrids. Conversely, hybridization may rescue the viability of small, inbred populations. Understanding the factors that contribute to destructive versus constructive outcomes of hybridization is key to managing conservation concerns. Here, we survey the literature for studies of hybridization and extinction to identify the ecological, evolutionary, and genetic factors that critically affect extinction risk through hybridization. We find that while extinction risk is highly situation dependent, genetic swamping is much more frequent than demographic swamping. In addition, human involvement is associated with increased risk and high reproductive isolation with reduced risk. Although climate change is predicted to increase the risk of hybridization‐induced extinction, we find little empirical support for this prediction. Similarly, theoretical and experimental studies imply that genetic rescue through hybridization may be equally or more probable than demographic swamping, but our literature survey failed to support this claim. We conclude that halting the introduction of hybridization‐prone exotics and restoring mature and diverse habitats that are resistant to hybrid establishment should be management priorities.
