INFLUX- an arrival or entry of large numbers of people or things.
An inflow of water into a river, lake, or the sea.

EXODUS- a mass departure of people.

Wrong.

Because exodus and influx are synonyms.

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.

It means single as per question.

Prashanth said:   2 decades ago
Return means the same but it may be a single or group.

But here the word influx refers to group arrival or invasion.

Lavanya said:   2 decades ago
It means a journey by a large group.

Gajanan said:   2 decades ago
Restoration means rehabilitation.
