C - South / Persian Gulf

The rivers both flow south to the opposite direction of the Black Sea. They’re also not near the Mediterranean Sea nor do they flow southwest to the Dead Sea, more so they flow to the Persian Gulf.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

The Tigris and Euphrates rivers flow south to the Persian Gulf.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The 'Tigris and Euphrates rivers' flow in Iraq which lies in northwest of the Persian Gulf.
  • These rivers are most famous for being the lifeline of the ancient Mesopotamian civilization.
  • The 'Persian Gulf' is a sea covered by land on almost all the sides with an opening in the southeast right above UAE where the waters from the 'Persian Gulf' make union with the waters from the 'Gulf of Oman'.
