Answer:

C. The elevation changes of the mountain cause different climates.

Step-by-step explanation:

The differences of altitude in the mountains allow a great diversity of climates that favor the diversification of species adaptable to different environments.

The climates and local differences determined by geomorphological, edaphic and vegetal cover features originate a range of microclimates that become habitats colonized by species that adapt to them and make up their specific niches.
