Solution

The correct option is C Babylonian
Mesopotamia refers to the region of present-day Iraq and Kuwait in West Asia. The Northern part of Mesopotamia was called Assyria, and the Southern part was known as Babylonia. Several kingdoms came up in these regions, in as early as 3000 BCE. The Mesopotamian civilisations collectively refer to the Sumerian, the Akkadian, the Babylonian, and the Assyrian civilisations.
