Answer:
D). Diverse climates provided good conditions for growing a variety of crops.

The elevation in latitudes led to the variation in air and wind blowing in different regions as well as the soil, rain, and temperature which proved to be a great source for growing distinct crops. Thus, option D is the correct answer.
