The correct answer is D. Babylonians

Step-by-step explanation:

The Babylonians were one civilization that developed in southern Mesopotamia around 1895BC. This civilization was mainly recognized due to impressive advances in astronomy, medicine, architecture, and mathematics. About architecture and mathematics, Babylonians used mathematics and geometry to make precise measurements of distances, shapes, etc. and then use this to built temples and also drains and canals that were used to transport water. Thus, it was the Babylonians the civilization that used geometry to construct canals.
