C

D

Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Grammar & Contextual Explanation
"Transit camp" refers to a temporary location where refugees are accommodated temporarily while they await further arrangements or processing. Therefore, the opposite of "transit" would be something that is lasting or permanent. Therefore, option B, "permanent," is the correct choice. If refugees were received at a permanent camp, it would imply that they were being accommodated in a location intended for longer-term stays rather than just temporarily passing through.
