Answer 1

Answer: I think that the Answer is C

Explanation: Mesopotamia was formed of City states which often caused strife and internal wars like we see in lots of other civilizations that were formed of city states. Since most city states had some sort of boundaries in between them, for example mountains. Egypt was one mostly uniform, stable union for long periods of time. They also had very different forms of worship even though they both followed Polytheistic religion (Polytheistic- A religion that believes in\worships more than one gods. Polytheism- The Belief in more than one god or goddess)
