Explanation:

Question 16

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option a: "human environment interaction" refers to how humans and environment affect each other, not a space with meaning.
• Option b: "absolute location" is a precise coordinate - based location, not about meaning.
• Option c: "place" is defined as a particular space with both physical (like landforms, climate) and human (like cultural, social) meaning.
• Option d: "movement" is about the flow of people, goods, etc., not a space.

We analyze each option to find a trade barrier:

• Option a: "removal of tariffs" reduces trade barriers, not a barrier.
• Option b: "allow free trade" promotes trade, not a barrier.
• Option c: "add a tax or tariff to an import" (a tariff) is a common trade barrier as it makes imported goods more expensive, reducing trade.
• Option d: "remove an embargo to ban trade" is incorrect; removing an embargo allows trade, and an embargo is a ban, but the option's description is contradictory.

Answer:

c. place
