Solution

The correct option is A Through passes
Mountain passes are used to cross steep ranges. A mountain pass is a navigable route through a mountain range. A pass may be very short, consisting of steep slopes to the top of the pass, or maybe a valley many kilometres long, whose highest point might only be identifiable by surveying.
