Started 5 months ago by Shashank in
Option B
is the correct answer.
Explanatory Answer
The author describes topophilia as an ‘affective’ (emotional) bond between people and place. The tendency to represent one’s land “motherland” or “fatherland” is an example of this.
Option 1 relates to the bond the French have with their language. Topophilia is emotional bonding with a place.
Option 3 talks of “a sense of topography”—an understating of the physical features of a place. This is completely different from topophilia.
Option 4 relates to topophobia whereas the question relates to topophilia.
