• A. Quantitative Revolution
• B. Post-modernism
• C. Spatial organisation
• D. Areal differentiation

Hint:

The Quantitative Revolution, Areal Differentiation, and Spatial Organisation are central to traditional Human Geography, while Post-modernism provides a philosophical critique of the discipline.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Identifying approaches in Human Geography.
Human Geography has several approaches, including: - Quantitative Revolution: Focuses on applying quantitative methods and models to study geography, emphasizing spatial data analysis and mathematical approaches.
- Spatial Organisation: Studies the spatial distribution and arrangement of different phenomena in geography.
- Areal Differentiation: Examines how different regions and areas have distinct characteristics and differentiation.

Step 2: Identifying the exception.
- Post-modernism: This is not typically considered an approach of Human Geography but more of a philosophical or cultural approach influencing various disciplines, including geography. It emphasizes relativism and subjectivity in understanding human experience, contrasting with the more structured methods used in the other approaches.
\[ \boxed{\text{Thus, Post-modernism is not an approach of Human Geography.}} \]
