Section C: The challenge of resource management
Question
- A. High initial investment costs
- B. Unlimited availability of resources
- C. Lack of technological advancements
- D. Low environmental impact
Answer
The correct answer is High initial investment costs.
Explanation
The correct option is High initial investment costs. High initial investment costs is correct because it directly matches the approved learning objective to explain strategies to increase energy supply using renewable and non-renewable energy sources. This belongs to Energy (optional route) within Section C: The challenge of resource management, so the answer must stay focused on the geographical process, evidence, place, or impact named by the curriculum. The other options are weaker because they move away from Energy (optional route), reverse the geographical relationship, or make a broader claim than the objective supports.
Common mistake
Confusing Renewable and Non-Renewable Energy Sources
Students often mix up renewable energy sources (like solar and wind) with non-renewable sources (like coal and oil), failing to explain their differences clearly.
To fix this, students should create a clear list of examples for each type of energy source and highlight their characteristics, such as sustainability and availability.
