The most accurate response is:

**Geography influenced the language, politics, and power centers of both the Eastern and Western Church.**

This response effectively highlights the ways in which geographic factors such as location and cultural context shaped the distinct characteristics of the Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic Churches. The language of religious services reflects cultural influences from these regions, while the differing political structures (papal supremacy in the West and caesaropapism in the East) can also be traced back to geographic context and the historical development of political entities in Western Europe versus Eastern Europe and the Near East.
