Greece's position as a crossroads into Asia, the European Continent, and also its proximity to Africa has led to its development since Ancient Times. Greece is positioned on the Mediterranean Sea giving it access to sea trade routes and partners around the Sea. Additionally Greece also bordered with other civilizations that allowed for land routes of trade. These factors led to the development of Greek Society as a seafaring, trading, and also powerful empire at different points in history. Greece's culture has also been influenced by the movement of ideas, art, and technology from other important empires and nations which developed in close proximity to Greece. 

The correct answer is the following.

Greece’s physical features affected the development of trade, culture, and legacy in many forms.

Three-fourths of Greece are mountains an hills. Since ancient times this had difficulted transportation and traveling due to these physical features. That is why the Greeks –basically the Athenians- developed complex maritime systems of navigation and had a strong navy.  

For instance, Alexander the Great conquest used the navy to transport troops, products for trade and people. The territory expansion that Alexander the Great reached during his time made Greece a big trade and cultural influence that leave a legacy in places such as Egypt, Italy, Persia, Babylon and some parts of India. Through his conquest, Greece spread modern ideas for that time such as democracy to rule a nation and Greek’s culture and arts.
