The populations living on a rough, steep mountain would have a higher rate of speciation than those living in a large, open grassland because the mountain
would
A. show less habitat fragmentation
B. provide its populations with more resources
C. isolate populations into subgroups
D. have fewer niches for organisms

The correct answer is option C, that is, have a wider range of environments.

Explanation:

It has been known that geographic isolation is a general way for the initiation of the process of speciation, like the rise of mountains, rivers changing course, migration of organisms, continental drift, due to this what was once a steady population gets differentiated into two or more kinds of smaller populations.  

A mountain range, due to distinctions in temperature and precipitation as a result of different altitudes, can lead to a higher rate of speciation. Due to these differences, a single mountain range can exhibit an enormous array of biodiversity and climate zones.
