What is the main risk of poorly planned climate adaptation in geography?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Increasing safety in one area while creating a new risk for another area or a vulnerable group

The governing concept is maladaptation, which occurs when an action intended to reduce climate vulnerability transfers, increases, or creates risk elsewhere. For example, a flood barrier may protect a wealthy neighbourhood but divert water toward a poorer settlement; excessive groundwater pumping for drought protection may reduce future water security; or an adaptation project may exclude people who lack money or political influence. Option A correctly expresses this problem because it links physical protection with unequal social and spatial consequences. The other options concern map appearance, terminology, or recording data and have no connection with the effects of adaptation policy.
