The correct response is: Egyptian gods gave beneficial floods and Mesopotamian gods gave torrential floods.

This reflects how ancient Egyptians viewed their gods as benevolent because the annual flooding of the Nile was predictable and essential for agriculture, whereas Mesopotamians experienced less predictable and often destructive flooding from the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, leading to a view of their gods as more capricious and punishing.
