The correct answer is B. The Amazon, Costa Rican Rainforests, and Andes Mountains have affected the economic growth of Latin America by limiting the development of infraestructure.

Explanation:

Latin America is a region of enormous development inequalities. From countries with a developed or developing infrastructure, such as Argentina, Brazil, Chile or Mexico, to countries with serious problems in this regard, such as Cuba or Haiti, among others.

Now, it is true that the geography of Latin America itself is in a certain sense the very limit to the development of infrastructure in the region: it is an area where there are several geographical features that operate as natural barriers to the development of advanced infrastructure. The main obstacles to this development are the Andes Mountains, in western South America; the Amazon, a jungle located in the center of South America; and the jungles of Costa Rica, among others.

In this sense, these geographical accidents have not collaborated with the political will to generate infrastructural development that allows improving the quality of life of its inhabitants.
