Answer:

A major gas leak occurred in a pesticide factory.

Explanation:

    The city of Bhopal is located in central India, it was the scene of one of the greatest tragedies in history. It all began on December 3, 1984, in an insecticide factory that used the following reaction to obtain its final product: methyl isocyanate.

    This raw material is a highly toxic gaseous substance. The factory used a large amount of gas and therefore kept the stock in the tanks. It happened that at dawn on the 3rd, due to numerous failures, the gas trapped in the tanks leaked completely. At the same time, thousands of people took to the streets feeling the following symptoms: difficulty breathing, burning eyes, dizziness, among others. The loss of vision was one of the consequences of the injured, and the worst, several people (including children) died the same day and the following days.

    Many pregnant women living in the city of Bhopal suffered instant miscarriages and most of the babies born in those days were killed. It was a real catastrophe. It is estimated that in the early hours the accident caused about 8000 fatalities. And in the years that followed, the death toll reached 22,000.

How can new technologies in geography help us to answer geography’s three key questions?
svp [43]

Geography's relevance to science and society arises from a distinctive and integrating set of perspectives through which geographers view the world around them. This chapter conveys a sense of what is meant by a geographic perspective, whether it be applied in research, teaching, or practice. Due to space limitations, it does not attempt to cite the many excellent examples of research illustrating geography's perspectives; the citations refer mainly to broad-ranging summaries of geographic research that are intended as resources for further reading.

Taking time to understand geography's perspectives is important because geography can be difficult to place within the family of academic disciplines. Just as all phenomena exist in time and thus have a history, they also exist in space and have a geography. Geography and history are therefore central to understanding our world and have been identified as core subjects in American education. Clearly, this kind of focus tends to cut across the boundaries of other natural and social science disciplines. Consequently, geography is sometimes viewed by those unfamiliar with the discipline as a collection of disparate specialties with no central core or coherence.

Naddika [18.5K]
It's being estimated that dinosaurs lived on Earth from about 237 million years ago to about 66 million years ago. So answers B and D are definately too "old", while answer A is too "young". I'd pick answer C as it's most probable.
