Question
- A. By promoting local wildlife conservation
- B. By increasing urban development
- C. By encouraging deforestation
- D. By reducing mineral extraction
Answer
The correct answer is By promoting local wildlife conservation.
Explanation
The correct option is By promoting local wildlife conservation. By promoting local wildlife conservation is correct because it directly matches the approved learning objective to use a cold environment case study to explain development opportunities including mineral extraction, energy, fishing and tourism. This belongs to Cold environments (optional route) within Section B: The living world, 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 Cold environments (optional route), reverse the geographical relationship, or make a broader claim than the objective supports.
Common mistake
Misunderstanding Development Opportunities
Students often confuse the development opportunities in cold environments with those in hot deserts, failing to identify specific examples like mineral extraction and fishing.
Focus on the unique characteristics of cold environments and study specific case studies that highlight development opportunities such as energy production and tourism.
