The phrase 'A meaningful location with distinctive characteristics' most accurately describes the geographic term 'place'.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The term 'place', in the discipline of Geography, is used to "refer to a location" that is being addressed in the given context.
A place can be said to be a location that can be described in a specific manner by giving information about its distinctive features and characteristics.
For example, in Geography, an island is any "piece of land" surrounded by water, but 'Tahiti Island' is a 'place'.
