What describes a pull factor that drew African Americans during the Great Migration?

a. the sale of inexpensive land by the federal government
b. the construction of low-cost government housing in growing cities
c. the absence of segregation and racial discrimination outside the South
d. the availability of good jobs in the North and West

The Great Migration saw waves of African Americans move from their traditional homes and cities in the South to the North and the West where they took advantage of the better paying jobs offered to them by Northern and Western factories and industries.

Some businesses deliberately went to the South to recruit African Americans with promises of better incentives and with the rampant segregation and disenfranchisement in the South, a lot of African Americans moved.
