Many people think that cats always land on their feet. This is mostly true because cats have a flexible backbone and a very good sense of balance. When a cat falls, it turns its body in the air and prepares to land. However, a fall from a very high place can still hurt a cat.

The text says: "This is mostly true because cats have a flexible backbone and a very good sense of balance." So the reason is given directly: "They have a flexible backbone and good balance." The text says nothing about strong back legs, long tails, jumping from low places or being lighter than other animals. It even says that a fall from a very high place can hurt a cat, so the other options are not supported by the text.
