Solution

The correct option is B The complexity of life in densely populated territories required some authority to regulate the community
  • Cities concentrated political, religious, and social institutions that were previously spread across many smaller, separate communities, which contributed to the development of states.
  • The political structures that states provided were an important factor in the rise of civilizations because they made it possible to mobilize large amounts of resources and labour and also tied larger communities together by connecting them under a common political system.
