In which situation does geography understand environmental justice and spatial inequality together?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Polluting industry being concentrated near a poor settlement

The direct answer is A: a polluting industry concentrated near a poor settlement. Environmental justice asks whether environmental benefits and harms are shared fairly among different groups. Spatial inequality asks where those groups and hazards are located and why the pattern is unequal. First identify the pollution source, such as a factory. Next locate the nearby poor settlement. Then examine exposure to dirty air, water, noise or health risks, and ask whether residents have equal power and protection. Option A combines pollution, social disadvantage and location, so it illustrates both environmental justice and spatial inequality. Option B, memorising a mountain’s height, is a physical measurement but says nothing about unequal environmental burdens. Option C, writing a river’s source, gives a geographical fact without social distribution or justice. Option D, naming an old city, provides historical information but no environmental pattern. The key is that the same environmental risk is not experienced equally by all communities. Memory cue: ask who is exposed, where they live and who receives protection.
