A Correct answer
Explanation

Rural-to-urban migration is the most intense migration stream in India due to push factors like lack of economic opportunities and underemployment in rural areas, combined with pull factors like better jobs, education, and healthcare facilities in cities. This pattern drives India's urbanization trend and has been accelerating since economic liberalization.
