Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

(A), (B), and (D) only

The correct answer is Option (2) → (A), (B), and (D) only

• A geographer, Griffith Taylor introduced another concept which reflects a middle path (Madhyam Marg) between the two ideas of environmental determinism and possibilism (A).
• He termed it as Neodeterminism or stop and go determinism.
• The concept shows that neither is there a situation of absolute necessity (environmental determinism) nor is there a condition of absolute freedom (possibilism) (B).
• It means that human beings can conquer nature by obeying it.
• It means that possibilities can be created within the limits which do not damage the environment and there is no free run without accidents (C).
• The free run which the developed economies attempted to take has already resulted in the green house effect, ozone layer depletion, global warming, receding glaciers and degrading lands.
• The neo-determinism conceptually attempts to bring a balance nullifying the 'either' 'or' dichotomy.

(C) Human beings can conquer Nature by controlling it through technological innovations: It is related to Possibilism.
