Explanation
Greece’s rugged mountains separated communities, making travel and cooperation across land difficult. As a result, it was difficult for Greek towns to unite under one government (B). The mountainous interior also encouraged people to settle near the coast, where travel and trade by sea were easier, so towns developed close to coastlines (A).
