(B) Spatial Organisation — this matches (III) Laws of physics were often applied to map and analyse. In the late 1950s and the 1960s, computers and statistical tools were used. This phase was called the quantitative revolution.
(C) Regional Analysis — this matches (II) Elaborate description of all aspects of a region were undertaken. In the later colonial period, each region was studied in detail as a part of the whole earth.
