Answer:

C.PROXIMITY TO A RIVER

Step-by-step explanation:

The Tigris River is a watercourse that crosses the territory of Turkey and Iraq and is located further east of the Euphrates River, with which they form Mesopotamia, where some of the earliest civilizations of mankind were born, thanks to the possibility of irrigation of your lands. It was the proximity to the Tigris River that determined the location of Baghdad as Iraqi territory.

Situated on the west bank of the Tigris River, the Iraqi capital, Baghdad is the most important city in the region, followed by Mosul, Tikrit (meaning Tiger) and Samarra (where a dam was built to contain flooding and improve irrigation). Downstream from Baghdad comes the delta of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, which flow 193 km along Chat-al-Arab, until they reach the Persian Gulf.
