Yes — the best choice is the third: "Yes, because mountains are a barrier on one side and Greece could defend its coastline."
Why: Greece's rugged, mountainous interior makes a large-scale land invasion difficult and channelizes attackers into predictable routes. Its long, indented coastline and many islands are naturally defensive features and are easier to defend from the sea (and by naval/air assets). The other options are weak: isolated islands are not easy to take secretly in the modern era, the many islands complicate both attack and defense (they're not simply an advantage for an attacker), and reputation alone is not a reliable deterrent.
