Section A: The challenge of natural hazards

Question

A. Population density
B. Low economic development
C. Poor infrastructure
D. All of the above

Answer

The correct answer is All of the above.

Explanation

The correct option is All of the above. All of the above is correct because it directly matches the approved learning objective to explain factors affecting hazard risk. This belongs to Natural hazards within Section A: The challenge of natural hazards, 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 Natural hazards, reverse the geographical relationship, or make a broader claim than the objective supports.

Common mistake

Confusing hazard risk factors

Students often confuse the factors affecting hazard risk, thinking they are only related to the natural hazard itself, rather than considering human and environmental factors as well.

To fix this, students should remember that hazard risk is influenced by both the characteristics of the natural hazard and the vulnerability of the population, including factors like location, preparedness, and infrastructure.
