Solution
The correct option is B Mesopotamian
Mesopotamia was one of the important civilisations of the ancient world. This civilisation was flourishing in the fertile crescent created by the two rivers Euphrates and Tigris. The region we call as Mesopotamia is identical to the parts of modern-day Iraq. Because of its geographical position, the civilisation was also called as the land between two rivers.
