Solve this multiple-choice question and choose the correct option.

Accepted Answer

Introduction / Context:The policy proposed is extreme: a complete ban on professional out-migration. Strong arguments must address economic effects, knowledge flows, and feasibility without relying on absolutes. Given Data / Assumptions: I asserts a ban is the “only way” to sustain technological progress — absolute claim. II cites remittances as a macroeconomic benefit. III cites skill acquisition and knowledge transfer from global exposure. Concept / Approach: International labor mobility can yield remittances, networks, technology diffusion, and return migration. Absolutist claims lacking necessity are weak. Step-by-Step Solution: I is weak: Domestic innovation depends on ecosystems (R&D, finance, institutions), not solely on preventing migration.II is strong: Remittances and savings from diaspora materially support foreign exchange and domestic consumption.III is strong: Professionals often bring back expertise, partnerships, and standards that aid development. Verification / Alternative check: Countries with active diasporas leverage talent abroad for investment and knowledge transfer; this supports II and III. Why Other Options Are Wrong: All / I&II / Only III alone: These misclassify the absolute I or exclude the valid II. Common Pitfalls: Assuming “brain drain” has only costs; it also has offsetting benefits when managed well. Final Answer: Only II and III are strong
