Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

The correct answer is

A, B and D only

A, B and D follow the textbook distinction used here: systematic comparison seeks general patterns, James treats regions as intellectual constructs, and Kant’s geography is descriptive. C reverses the traditional classification: Kant, Hettner and Hartshorne are associated with idiographic or regional approaches. Sauer’s wider work should not be reduced to a single methodological label.
