The correct answer is C. rural-urban drift

Rural-urban drift refers to the migration of people from rural areas to urban areas in search of better economic opportunities and living conditions.

In the context of Nigeria, the trend of rural-urban drift has led to a decrease in the agricultural labour force, as individuals move away from rural areas where agriculture is prominent.
