The correct answer is C. The land was irregular and mountainous.
The geography of Ancient Greece, characterized by its mountainous terrain and numerous islands, led to the development of small, isolated communities. This natural landscape made it difficult for large groups of people to unite, contributing to the formation of independent city-states (poleis).
