Answer 1

The correct response is: They isolated city-states and made them independent.

The mountainous terrain of Greece contributed to the fragmentation of the land, leading to the development of independent city-states (poleis) that were often isolated from one another. This geography played a significant role in shaping the political landscape of ancient Greece.
