The correct answer is option D.  The contrast in the geography of the two regions encouraged variations in lifestyles.

Explanation:

Geography plays an important role in how a county builds itself. There are countries who have ample natural resources and fertilized land. If they use it properly, they can turn into huge agricultural state. While on the contrary, where countries lack natural resources and land, it becomes hard for them to come up with ways to grow economically.

Similar case happened with Americans in the South and New England colonies. Difference geography and natural resources created difference among them.
