C. Most of the land was dry, sandy, desert, making it difficult to settle down and farm

Explanation:

The Arabian Peninsula is one of the most inhospitable places for living on the planet. Almost all of it is dominated by desert. It is very hot and dry throughout all of the year. The soil is lacking, and the majority of the landscape is covered with sand and rocks, making it impossible to get involved in agriculture. This made the people to live a nomadic lifestyle, moving from place to place constantly in order to get to the needed resources in order to survive.
