Answer
A
Skilled workers often leave small countries for larger industrialized countries.
B
Unskilled workers often support the economies of their host and home countries through remittances.
C
Remittances represent capital flow from the home country to the host country.
D
Recent migrations tend to flow from South America to North America and from the Middle East to Western Europe.

Explanation

Remittances are money that migrant workers send from the host country back to their home country. This is a capital flow from the host country to the home country, not the other way around. Therefore, the false statement is that remittances flow from the home country to the host country.
