Explanation
'Emigrate' means to leave one's own country to settle in another — it applies to people, not animals, and not to movement within a country. (a) wrongly applies it to animals, (c) to inter-provincial workers, and (d) wrongly pairs emigration with movement 'into' a country. Only (b), the family leaving for another country, is correct.
