Answer 1

The answer is (b) Geography. Temporal Synthesis can be described as ''automated construction'' of a system whereby we develop a temporary specification and then try to prove it.
Unlike, the opposite, where first, a system is developed and then tested in a lab or real-world environment, temporary synthesis works a bit different but helps to develop a system which is correct by design and not flawed.

Answer 2

Temporal synthesis is how a specific region or a place changes over a time, this is either because of the natural process or it's man-made. 

The correct answer to this query is Geography because the lands and places have been modified by the human beings according to their living conditions, the mountains have been cut in order to make the roads so that people can travel and the trees have been cut to make the houses so people can live there, because of the development the lands and locations have been modified and that is done on the concept of Geography.
