Answer 1

B) People tend to live near water

Step-by-step explanation:

Many ancient civilizations built themselves near water sources due their usefulness as a barrier against intruders, a water supply to drink, routes to trade through, water for crops, and the different food/animals in these waters that would make people have a diverse diet. Food, water, and security influences the population of a civilization, so when one civilization has vast amounts of these thanks to a water source, the population increases. As they get a ton of thing from water, they start building near a water source. (river)
