Answer
A
the concept of cultural landscape
B
the Burgess model of land use
C

Explanation

A cultural landscape is the visible imprint of human culture on the natural environment. Building homes from locally available adobe shows how the Pueblo peoples adapted the landscape to meet their needs, so this is an example of the concept of cultural landscape. The Burgess and Hoyt models describe urban land-use patterns, while sequent occupance concerns successive cultures shaping a place over time.
