- C. It leads to deforestation.
- D. It decreases the availability of water.
Answer
The correct answer is It provides jobs and boosts the local economy..
Explanation
The correct option is It provides jobs and boosts the local economy.. It provides jobs and boosts the local economy. is correct because it directly matches the approved learning objective to use a hot desert case study to explain development opportunities including mineral extraction, energy, farming and tourism. 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 Opportunities
Students often confuse development opportunities in hot deserts with challenges, focusing too much on negative aspects like inaccessibility and extreme temperatures.
To fix this, students should clearly differentiate between opportunities such as mineral extraction, energy production, farming, and tourism, and understand how these can positively impact the economy and local communities.
