A Correct answer
Explanation

Humanistic geography emerged in the 1970s as a reaction against the positivist, quantitative, and model-building approaches of the 'spatial science' era. It emphasized human experience, agency, and social relevance. It was distinct from, rather than a derivative of, the radical/Marxist trend in geography.
