Who in 1905 clearly expressed the logical arguments concerning the place of the Earth's body in the field of Geography ?
Answer: B
The geographer is Hettner, the second option.
Alfred Hettner, a pupil of Ferdinand von Richthofen, set out his case for geography as a chorological science, the study of areas of the earth's surface, in an essay in the Geographische Zeitschrift in 1905 (his full methodological book followed in 1927). The date in the question is what identifies him.
Richthofen's own statement of the chorological idea was his Leipzig inaugural address of 1883, not 1905. Carl Ritter belongs to the first half of the nineteenth century, the age of the Erdkunde. Carl Sauer wrote on the morphology of landscape in the 1920s.
The wording 'the place of the Earth's body' is unusual and could not be matched to a published sentence, so this explanation rests on the 1905 essay being Hettner's.
