The correct answer is Northern Africa.

In the Ancient time, Egypt was a fluvial civilization located in the Northern Africa next to the Nile river that was the most important resource for the economy and lifestyle, considering that was the main way of transport and therefore of trade. Also, it made that the ground was fertile for agriculture. So, the correct answer is B. Northern Africa.
