The most accurate statement regarding the impact of mountains on the development of Greek city-states is:

They isolated the city-states and made them independent.

The rugged terrain and mountainous landscape of Greece led to the development of isolated communities, which encouraged the growth of independent city-states (polis) rather than a unified empire. Each city-state developed its own government and way of life, contributing to the diversity of cultures in ancient Greece.
