The answer is C) There are certain behaviors associated with civilized life.

The Epic Gilgamesh gives a perfect picture of the Mesopotamian civilization.

Named after the famous King of Uruk, Gilgamesh, the epic poem is regarded as one the earliest forms of great literature that still survives.

You can learn from the Mesopotamian civilization and how it differed from more nomadic lifestyles and barbarians. Language, culture, a structured economy all gave rise to sophisticated culture.
