C. Italy has experienced many earthquakes.
Rationale: Earthquakes are caused by movement along lithospheric plate boundaries. Southern Italy lies near the boundary between the African and Eurasian plates, which produces frequent seismic activity (and volcanism). The other choices are unrelated to plate-boundary proximity.
