Explanation

Exodus refers to a mass departure of people from a place, especially emigration. The opposite would be a mass arrival or movement into a place. Option C 'influx' means an inflow or arrival of people or things in large numbers, which directly contrasts with the outward movement of an exodus. Options A, B, D, and E suggest searching, retracting, applying, or meeting, none of which represent movement into a place.
