Answer 1

The correct response that explains how the terrain contributed to the rise of independent city-states in ancient Greece is:

The mountains and ocean prevented people from uniting into an empire.

The mountainous geography and the numerous islands of Greece created natural barriers that hindered communication and travel, leading to the development of isolated communities that eventually evolved into independent city-states. The surrounding seas also facilitated trade and navigation, further promoting the growth of city-states rather than a unified empire.
