Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → (A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(II), (D)-(I)
(A) 1930 through the Inter-war period — this matches (III) Areal differentiation. Geographers tried to find what makes each region unique and different from others.
(B) Late 1950 to the late 1960 — this matches (IV) Spatial organisation. Computers and statistical tools were used to map human activities. This phase was the quantitative revolution.
(C) 1970s — this matches (II) Emergence of humanistic approach. Humanistic, radical and behavioural schools of thought emerged in the 1970s. The humanistic school is one of these three schools.
