Answer: B. Mesopotamia

Step-by-step explanation:

Mesopotamia was the ancient region located in the east Mediterranean typically in the northeast of the Zagros Mountains also included the part of southeast of the Arabian Plateau. This is corresponding to the today's Iran, but also includes the parts of modern day Iran, Turkey and Syria. The meaning of mesopotamia in Greek means two rivers.
