Read the Passage given below and answer the following question (Q 3).
Winters in the town of Trondheim mean fierce winds and heavy snow. The skies are dark for months. Kari drives to work in the dark at 8 am. She has special tyres for the winter and keeps the headlights of her powerful car switched on. Her office is artificially heated at a comfortable 23 degrees Celsius. The campus of the university she works in is built under a huge glass dome. This dome keeps the snow out in winter and lets in the sunshine in the summer. The temperature is controlled carefully and there is adequate lighting. Even though fresh vegetables and plants don’t grow in such harsh weather, Kari keeps an orchid on her desk and enjoys eating tropical fruits like banana and kiwi. These are flown in from warmer areas regularly. With a click of the mouse, Kari can network with colleagues in New Delhi. She frequently takes a morning flight to London and returns in the evening in time to watch her favourite television serial. Though Kari is fifty-eight years old, she is fitter and looks younger than many thirty year- olds in other parts of the world.

Statement 1: Concept of 'Environmental determinism' is more relevant for modern societies.

Statement 2: The 'Possibilism' concept is more relevant for primitive societies.

Statement 3: The concept of 'Possibilism' was introduced by Griffith Taylor.

None of the statements is correct.

The correct answer is Option 4: None of the statements is correct.

Statement 1: Environmental determinism is more relevant for modern societies. This is incorrect. The concept of Environmental determinism was more relevant for primitive societies. In the early stages of their interaction with their natural environment, early humans were greatly influenced by it. They adapted to the dictates of Nature. This is so because the level of technology was very low and the stage of human social development was also primitive.

Statement 2: The possibilism concept is relevant for primitive societies. This is incorrect. Possibilism is more relevant for modern societies

Statement 3: The concept of Possibilism was introduced by Griffith Taylor. This is incorrect. Griffith Taylor is more closely associated with the concept of Neodeterminism or stop-and-go determinism which reflects a middle path (Madhyam Marg) between the two ideas of environmental determinism and possibilism.
