Who coined the term 'Cosmography' and divided it into uranography and Geography ?
Answer: D
The term cosmography divided into uranography and geography is credited in the key to A. Humboldt.
Humboldt's Kosmos treated the universe as an ordered whole, describing the heavens (uranography) and the earth (geography). The key follows Hartshorne's account of the division.
Peschel (option A) and Ritter (option B) are other German geographers and are not credited with it, and Varenius (option C) divided geography into general and special parts, not cosmography into two.
