D. the nation's landforms

Explanation:

The literacy rates across the world are not the same, and there are lot of differences from one country to another. There are numerous reasons why the literacy rates differ, and some of them are the GDP (nominal), GDP per capita, the distribution of wealth, the quality of the education and many other socio-economic factors.

The geography of a nation, or rather its landforms, do not tend to have any influence on the literacy rates. This can easily be proven if nations with similar geography are compared. Liechtenstein and Nepal have similar geography, both nations being mountainous, small compared to their neighbors, and being tough environments. Liechtenstein though is around the top nations in the world by literacy rates, while Nepal is way below that level, and the only reasons for this are the socio-economic factors.
