Question
- A. They always enhance biodiversity
- B. They can disrupt natural habitats
- C. They have no impact on ecosystems
- D. They only affect human activities
Answer
The correct answer is They can disrupt natural habitats.
Explanation
The correct option is They can disrupt natural habitats. They can disrupt natural habitats is correct because it directly matches the approved learning objective to use a UK coastal management scheme example to explain reasons for management, strategies used, resulting effects and conflicts. This belongs to Coastal 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 Coastal landscapes in the UK (optional route), reverse the geographical relationship, or make a broader claim than the objective supports.
Common mistake
Misunderstanding Coastal Management
Students often confuse the reasons for coastal management with the strategies used, failing to clearly differentiate between them.
To fix this, students should create a clear outline that separates reasons for management (such as erosion prevention) from the strategies employed (like sea walls or beach nourishment).
