I put…HEALTHY CLIMATE because all the other choices just seemed very wrong



I didn’t take the test, but I can tell you that the primary reason ancient civilizations located themselves near river valleys was to exploit them as a resource for food (high quality natural irrigation) and fresh water (self-explanatory). These were precious commodities that were too scarce elsewhere to support a well developed civil society (until the development of organized trade much more recently, in my opinion). So if “healthy climate” meant that, you’re correct.
