d by stating that poseidon’s family remained on the island for years

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option based on the context (likely about Atlantis and Poseidon):

• Option A: Implies land importance to gods, but the left text mentions land allocation, not gods’ view. Eliminate.
• Option B: Says Poseidon destroyed resources, but the left text focuses on land distribution/wealth, not destruction. Eliminate.
• Option C: Describes island wealth from land. The left text has “lands parcelled out... allocated territories” and mentions Atlantis, aligning with land as a wealth source.
• Option D: States Poseidon’s family stayed, but the left text is about land allocation, not family residence. Eliminate.

Answer:

C. by describing how the wealth of the island came from its land
