Meaning of Exodus:
Mass departure.
A large number of people are leaving a place.
Opposite (Antonym): Opposite of departure = arrival.
Correct Answer: Influx.
Influx means: Arrival of many people.
A large number of people are coming in.
And why others are not the best:
Homecoming → specific type of return.
Return → general going back.
Restoration → bringing something back.
