Why is the mention of the Neva River useful in the February Revolution?

Correct answer: It explains class division of the city and route of movement

The correct answer is A because the Neva River was an important geographical feature of Petrograd, and its banks helped shape the city’s social and political geography. Industrial workers, factories and working-class neighbourhoods were concentrated in particular areas, while government buildings and wealthier districts lay elsewhere. When demonstrations moved through bridges, streets and public spaces, the river and its crossings affected how groups connected and how protests reached important centres of power. Geography therefore helps explain both class divisions and the route by which the movement spread. The Neva was not a border, a treaty or an army; it was a real river whose location made the events easier to understand spatially.
