Which statement best describes the physical geography of the Italian Peninsula?

Answer
A
It is a flat plain with few hills or mountains.
B
It is a desert without access to fresh water.
C
It is a combination of hills, mountains, and plains.
D
It is mountainous without flat areas for growing crops.

Explanation

The Italian Peninsula has varied terrain: the Apennine Mountains run down much of its length, with hills and fertile plains in areas such as the Po Valley. This makes “a combination of hills, mountains, and plains” the best description. It is not entirely flat, a desert, or so mountainous that it lacks farmland.
