Answer:

2: Mawakpa and Norte Chico

Step-by-step explanation:

The first recorded civilization in North America was Mawakpa. The name is a shortened version of Makoce Wakpa, meaning "Land of Rivers" in their native language.

The oldest known civilization of the Americas was established in the Norte Chico region of modern Peru. Complex society emerged in the group of coastal valleys, between 3000 and 1800 BCE. The Quipu, a distinctive recording device among Andean civilizations, apparently dates from the era of Norte Chico's prominence.
