I believe the answer is D: Early followers had different opinions about who would lead them.
After the death of Prophet Muhammad, nobody knew who would lead them again, and the religion split apart into two due to this.
According to npr, most of the Prophet Muhammad's followers wanted the community of Muslims to determine who would succeed him; a smaller group thought that someone from his family should take up his mantle.

I can at least tell you it isn't
The territory was divided into independent city-states. ( I got a zero.)
Nor the flat land, as I remember the Aztec farmed from "Floating gardens."
The Aztec traded everything. So, If it's supposed to fit all three of them, it's already out for that option. (And all of them traded.)
I think, It'd have to be the last option left then, Corn being an important crop. <u><em>It should be.</em></u>
Homesteaders living on the great plains were what you call "Extremely Dramatic". There were lots of conditions on the great plains that affected settlers lives. Here are these problems; building houses, staying healthy, extreme weather, lack of fuel, Indian Attacks, lack of isolation, keeping clean, lack of water, and pests and vermin. The problem with the bugs were grasshoppers. Grasshoppers ruined their crops. Building houses from wood was expensive. The settlers couldn't afford building houses from wood, so they built it from sod. The walls and floors were infested with bugs and lice, because these homes were built from dirt and grass. It would leak in the homes when it rained. They also had problems staying healthy because of the insects. The insects that flew around would inject disease into their bodies. In other words, There are three things that helped them survive, and 3/3 of these examples issued technology. 1.) Barbed wire, 2.) steel plow, and 3.) windmills. The barbed wire was for housing reasons, the steel plow was for cutting through tough prairie sod, and the windmills for pumping water out of the ground. :)
