Correct answer: C. Independent of
- A. Tailored
- B. Unconscious of
- C. Independent of
- D. Anomalous in
Explanation
The sentence suggests that the propensity to migrate is a persistent phenomenon across various time periods, and therefore, a theory explaining it should be able to account for this persistence regardless of the specific time period being considered. "Independent of" means unaffected by or not reliant on a particular factor, in this case, a specific time period.
