Explanation:

The Great Famine in Ireland led to widespread death and emigration. Around 1 million people died from starvation and related diseases, and about 1 million people emigrated (left) Ireland to escape the famine. Option B is incorrect as people were leaving, not entering. Option C's 2 million starved is inaccurate (the death toll was around 1 million from starvation/disease). Option D's 4 million died is also incorrect. So the correct option is A.

Answer:

A. 1 million people left Ireland
