Answer:

All the answers are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mesoamerica is a Central American region and cultural area that stretches from Mexico to Costa Rica, in the Central American mainland. In Mesoamerica, a number of ancient cultures emerged in the pre-Columbian period, created by the Aztecs, Mayans, Olmites, and Toltecs, among others. These peoples built powerful cities and created works of art, but they did not know the wheel or use bronze or iron tools. Copper was used as sharp tools and hooks shortly before the Spanish invasion. Cultures lasted with ups and downs until the Spanish conquest in the 15th and 16th centuries.
