This question is flawed. It is easy to be "wrong" by the test and yet be correct in actuality.
Here's one example:
Definition of Exodus: A mass departure of people, especially emigrants.
So, you could say that an Exodus = A mass emigration.
Opposite of Emigrant = Immigrant.
So, you could say that the opposite of an Exodus is a mass IMMIGRATION.

Exodus means movement of citizens out of a country or region due a reason such as war, famine etc.
Hence the correct antonym will be Immigration as it means the "influx of foreign citizens into a country or region for various reasons".

I don't think, entry is a better option here. Because exodus means many people leave a place same time. Immigration means to come to leave to a country.

Please make corrections in the answer so that when we take a test it shouldn't show the wrong answer as right.
Immigration is the right answer.
Immigration is the right answer.

No, exodus is an exit therefore entry would be the antonym. Invasion cannot be the opposite in this case as the 'exodus' simply means exit.

Immigration would be the answer.
How an antonym can be the answer of this? unless it is saying about different land.

Immigration also means entry but in a legal manner, Entry is a very uncommon word if we compare it with EXODUS.

But exodus is an exit, but a mass exit for that matter, don't you think invasion would be a better antonym.

Migration means going from one place to another. Immigration is the antonym of Exodus.

Exactly! Exodus involves emigrants, so immigration involves immigrants.
