Please select the best answer from the choices provided.
A.
the low cost of living in the southwestern United States
This is not a push factor; rather, it could be considered a pull factor, as it might attract people to move to that area because of its affordability. Push factors are negative aspects of the current location that drive people to move away, such as high unemployment, high cost of living, or lack of affordable housing.
