D Correct answer
Explanation

Assumption (II) is implicit because the statement mentions migration to 'greener pastures', which implies that the migrants are motivated by better conditions elsewhere. Assumption (I) is not necessarily implicit because the statement describes a phenomenon without explicitly judging its impact as adverse.
