Explanation:

The Great Migration was a voluntary movement of African Americans from the South to the North (and other regions) seeking better opportunities and escaping oppression. Option B (scarce/low - paying jobs in the South), C (discrimination from Jim Crow laws), and D (violence in the South) were all push factors. The government did not force African Americans to relocate, so option A is the exception.

Answer:

A. African Americans were forced by the government to relocate.
