The correct answer is D. High unemployment rates.

Explanation

A push factor is a term used to refer to factors that cause a voluntary departure of residents to other countries in search of a better quality of life, examples of push factors are wars, economic crises, unemployment, shortages, among others. On the other hand, a pull factor is a term used to refer to factors that cause the voluntary entry of residents who seek a better quality of life from other countries, for example, prosperity, job opportunities, security, peace, among others.

According to the above, high unemployment rates is not a factor of attraction because it causes the population to leave for other countries seeking better living conditions (pull factor) instead of attracting them to a new country. So, the correct answer is D. High unemployment rates.
