Let’s go through each question one by one and find the correct answers.

Question 1:
> “__________ is the study of environmental factors that affect human life.”
We are looking for the branch of geography that focuses on how nature (like climate, land, water) affects humans — where they live, how they survive, their health, etc.
-
A. Human geography → This is too broad. It includes many things like culture, economy, cities — not just environment affecting life.
-
B. Agriculture Geography → Focuses only on farming and crops. Too narrow.
-
C. Transport Geography → About roads, railways, movement — not related to environment affecting life.
-
D. Medical Geography → Studies how environment affects health and disease — this fits! For example, why malaria is common in wet areas, or how pollution causes illness.
✔ So, the best answer is
D. Medical Geography
Rewritten sentence:
Medical Geography is the study of environmental factors that affect human life.

Question 2:
> “Which one of the following is not an approach in human geography?”
Approaches mean ways or methods geographers use to study human geography.
-
A. Systematic approach → Yes, this is a real approach — studying topics systematically (like population, then economy, then culture).
-
B. Regional approach → Also real — studying specific regions (like South Asia, or the Amazon basin).
-
C. Humanistic approach → Yes — focuses on human feelings, experiences, perceptions.
-
D. Political geography → Wait — this is NOT an *approach*. It’s a *branch* or *sub-field* of human geography (like economic geography, cultural geography). Approaches are about *how* you study; political geography is *what* you study.
✔ So, the correct answer is
D. Political geography
