Explanation:

1 and 2 only

his statement is generally correct. Historically, states in Southern India have seen less outward migration compared to states in Northern India, which have often been sources of migrants due to various socio-economic factors.

Migration streaming out from one rural area to another is more than rural to urban.

This statement is also generally true. Internal migration in India often involves movement from rural areas to other rural areas, such as from less developed rural regions to more prosperous ones, rather than solely from rural to urban areas.

Migration due to occupation is the biggest factor contributing to widespread migration in India.

This statement is not entirely accurate. While migration due to occupation is a significant factor, other factors such as education, marriage, and seeking better living conditions also contribute significantly to migration patterns in India.

Therefore, only statements 1 and 2 are correct
