Solution

The correct option is C Assyria
The Mesopotamian civilisations flourished between the rivers Euphrates and Tigris rivers. This is why the civilisations are called Mesopotamian- ‘Meso’ means ‘in-between’ and ‘potamus’ means river. The northern part of Mesopotamia was called Assyria while the southern part was known as Babylonia.
