For More Understanding

Explanation

Option C is correct because the provided context explicitly lists 'Areal differentiation' and 'Spatial organisation' as approaches (thrusts) in the timeline of human geography. However, the text specifically notes that 'This phase was called the quantitative revolution,' distinguishing the phase name ('Quantitative revolution') from the actual approach ('Spatial organisation'). Therefore, 'Quantitative revolution' is identified as a phase rather than an approach.

Solution Steps

  1. Step 1: Analyze the options against the provided text. The text lists 'Areal differentiation' and 'Spatial organisation' under the 'Thrust' or approach column.

  2. Step 2: Read the description for the late 1950s period. The text states, 'This phase was called the quantitative revolution,' implying it is the name of the time period (phase), while the thrust is 'Spatial organisation'.

  3. Step 3: Conclude that 'Quantitative revolution' is the name of the phase, not the approach itself, making it the correct option for 'not an approach'.
