Solution
The correct option is E Etruscan
The Etruscan
civilization flourished in central Italy between the 8th and 3rd century BCE.
The culture was renowned in antiquity for its rich mineral resources and as a
major Mediterranean trading power. Much of its culture and even history was
either obliterated or assimilated into that of its conqueror, Rome.
Nevertheless, surviving Etruscan tombs, their contents and their wall
paintings, as well as the Roman adoption of certain Etruscan clothing,
religious practices, and architecture, are convincing testament to the great
prosperity and significant contribution to Mediterranean culture achieved by
Italy's first great civilization.
