Answer 1

The Yellow River was prone to disastrous floods due to the portability of its fertile soil and lack of control over the water flow. The correct option is (D).

Step-by-step explanation:

The characteristic of the Yellow River was that it was prone to disastrous floods. The river's frequent flooding was caused by the portability of its fertile soil, known as loess, and the lack of control over the water flow.

These floods resulted in cycles of bountiful harvests and natural disasters for the farmers living along the river.

The history of farming along the Yellow River is marked by recurring cycles of plentiful harvests punctuated by flooding and natural disasters.

Despite efforts in early dynastic China, such as the Shang and Zhou dynasties building dams for irrigation, the river's torrential flooding remained a significant challenge.
