Answer: The correct answer is B. They built irrigation canals on flooded land.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Incas farmed resilient crops of corn, potatoes, and quinoa. To address issues with limited farmland, they cut terraces into the mountainside slopes to grow their crops. To solve issues associated with mountain flooding and irrigation, they built cisterns and canals that traversed and angled down the mountain to the valleys below.
