Correct Option: B
French geographer Vidal de Lablache laid the foundations of possibilism. He declared that man is not a passive agent ruled by the forces of nature which play their role and determine man’s destiny and shape human society. He developed this geographical approach as a reaction to environmental determinism that regarded all the facets of human activity as ultimately determined in character by the natural-environmental context.
