sec.B) I really want rivers, earthquakes and volcanoes, or climate, NOT COASTS!!
sec.C) I really want, water, tourism or energy... environmental risks will be okay as long as 7 marker is on greenhouse effect!

no, I looked on Reddit and it seems to me about 80% of people talked about the country and 20% talked about the migrants. honestly, I don't even know whether it was you or us that made the mistake. either way, it was a *****y worded question and I reckon they'll probably expand the mark scheme points to accomodate both.
