Explanation:

First Question

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option a: Economic geography studies economic activities' spatial aspects, not just wealth differences.
• Option b: Land use planning is about land utilization, not wealth/resources differences.
• Option c: Spatial inequality refers to disparities (including wealth/resources) across regions, matching the question.
• Option d: Resource distribution is about how resources are spread, not the differences (inequality) aspect.

Analyze each option:

• Option a: Infrastructure (like roads, bridges) connects remote areas to markets/jobs, enabling economic opportunities and poverty reduction.
• Option b: Infrastructure doesn't directly decrease population growth.
• Option c: Raising land costs isn't a poverty alleviation role.
• Option d: Infrastructure doesn't provide natural resources; it facilitates access/use.

Answer:

c. Spatial inequality
