A Correct answer
Explanation

When a city's main industry fails, many workers lose their jobs and move away to find employment elsewhere, causing the population to decline. A successful industry and tourism typically attract people, while sickness is generally a temporary or less common driver of long-term urban migration compared to economic factors.
