Answer:

d. It has a complex system of canals, bridges and dams, with the Great Temple at the center.

Step-by-step explanation:

Tenochtitlán was not that big to set up a mass transist system, however It was very organized indeed. They had the Great Temple and the city was famous for being a places where trading was abundant and social classes were well defined. Additionally, the city was established in a shallow part of Lake Texoco, so Aztecs built many structures to prevent floodings and use the water a resource. That is why they made canals, dams and bridges.
