The correct response is: It meant early peoples developed in isolation.

The Gobi and Taklamakan Deserts presented significant natural barriers that limited movement and interaction with other regions, while the Himalaya Mountains further isolated the area to the south. This isolation influenced the early development of civilizations in China, as they were relatively cut off from other cultures and trade routes.
