The correct answer is:
**b They have acted as an obstacle between the eastern and western sections of the state.**
The Cascade Mountains create a significant geographical barrier that affects climate, transportation, and settlement patterns. This divide has influenced population distribution, with the western region (including cities like Seattle) being more populous and developed compared to the eastern region. The mountains have also impacted agriculture and access between the two regions, contributing to distinct cultural and economic differences.
