- D. It increases biodiversity.
Answer
The correct answer is It limits human settlement and economic activities..
Explanation
The correct option is It limits human settlement and economic activities.. It limits human settlement and economic activities. is correct because it directly matches the approved learning objective to use a hot desert case study to explain development challenges including extreme temperatures, water supply and inaccessibility. This belongs to Hot deserts (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 Hot deserts (optional route), reverse the geographical relationship, or make a broader claim than the objective supports.
Common mistake
Misunderstanding Development Challenges
Students often confuse the challenges of extreme temperatures with those of water supply and inaccessibility in hot deserts.
To fix this, students should study each challenge separately and understand how they uniquely impact development in hot desert environments.
