B Correct answer
Explanation

In the Tundra region, the harsh climate (permafrost, short growing season) makes agriculture impossible. While all options describe tundra conditions, 'infertile dissected terrain' is the most direct explanation for why hunting and fishing become the primary livelihood - the land itself cannot support cultivation. Sparse population is a consequence, not a cause.
