The correct response is:

They isolated the city-states and made them independent.

The mountains of Greece created natural barriers, leading to the development of independent city-states (or polis) that often had their own governments and cultures. This geographical isolation restricted direct interaction and unification among the city-states, fostering a sense of independence and individuality among them.
