The correct response is:
The city-states were centers of trade that competed in cultural development.
This characteristic played a significant role in the emergence of the Italian Renaissance, as the wealth generated through trade allowed these city-states to invest in art, literature, and scholarship, leading to a flourishing of culture and intellectual pursuits. The competition among the city-states also incentivized innovation and patronage of the arts.
