Passage

Climate change is likely to expose a large number of people to increasing environmental risks forcing them to migrate. The international community is yet to recognize this new category of migrants. There is no consensus on the definition and status of climate refugees owing to the distinct meaning the term refugees carry under international laws. There are still gaps in understanding how climate change will work as the root cause of migration. Even if there is recognition of climate refugees, who is going to provide protection? More emphasis has been given to international migration due to climate change. But there is a need to recognize the migration of such people within the countries also so that their problems can be addressed properly.

Question

Which of the following is the most rational inference from the above passage?

Explanation

Option A is incorrect. The passage mentions challenges but does not suggest the world will definitely fail to cope. This is speculative, not the most rational inference.

Option B is incorrect. While stopping climate change is important, the passage focuses on migration issues, not directly on stopping climate change. This is unrelated to the core argument.

Option C is incorrect. The passage highlights climate change as a significant factor but does not claim it will be the most important reason for migration.

Option D is correct. This directly aligns with the passage, which mentions gaps in understanding how climate change acts as a root cause of migration.
