How is the relation between urban geography and social classes visible in the February Revolution?

Correct answer: Workers organised on the right bank and protest spread to centres of power

Petrograd’s physical layout helped shape the course of the February Revolution. Many industrial workers lived and worked in areas on the Neva’s right bank, including the Vyborg side. From there, strikes and demonstrations moved across bridges and toward important political and administrative centres. This shows that geography was not separate from class politics: the location of factories and workers influenced how protests spread through the city.

Option A is the best answer because it links the organisation of workers on the right bank with the movement of protest toward centres of power. The other choices wrongly place all groups in villages, confuse government buildings with workers’ settlements, or treat the Neva as if it ended political action. Urban space affected routes and gatherings, but it did not cause the revolution by itself. Social grievances and political crisis remained essential.
