D.
An invading army could come by both land and sea. The Pyrenees have passes that allow land invasion from the rest of Europe, and the Strait of Gibraltar and the long Mediterranean/Atlantic coasts allow seaborne landings (the Moors crossed the strait in 711). The strait is not a sand bar you can walk across at low tide — crossings require boats.
