The correct answer is letter C

Explanation: Many African Americans moved to the north, in the Great Migration, looking for better jobs and better treatment in the north.

Great Migration occurred mainly from the South to the North, which is the most developed in the region. The process was strained as a result of growing social as well as economic inequalities, which increasingly generates labor shortages and sufficient resources for all.
