Question
- A. It is the primary source of income.
- B. It supports local food production.
- C. It has no significant impact.
- D. It is only seasonal.
Answer
The correct answer is It supports local food production..
Explanation
The correct option is It supports local food production.. It supports local food production. is correct because it directly matches the approved learning objective to describe economic activities in glaciated upland areas including tourism, farming, forestry and quarrying. This belongs to Glacial landscapes in the UK (optional route) within Section C: Physical landscapes in the UK, 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 Glacial landscapes in the UK (optional route), reverse the geographical relationship, or make a broader claim than the objective supports.
Common mistake
Misunderstanding Economic Activities
Students often confuse the types of economic activities in glaciated upland areas, thinking they are all related to tourism.
Students should remember that economic activities also include farming, forestry, and quarrying, in addition to tourism.
