Correct Answer
A. A refugee has crossed an international border and an IDP has remained within their countryExplanation
A refugee is someone who has been forced to move from their home country due to persecution, conflict, or violence and has crossed an international border to seek safety in another country. On the other hand, an IDP (Internally Displaced Person) is someone who has also been forced to leave their home but has remained within their own country's borders. They may have fled their homes due to similar reasons as refugees, but they have not crossed an international border. The key distinction between the two is the location of displacement, with refugees seeking refuge in another country and IDPs remaining within their own country.Rate this question:
